Brandborg is neither a rebellious
teen-ager nor a practiced civil
rights activist. But when she felt
wronged by the judicial system,
she stood her ground.
A sampling of questions
its bumpy journeys in Congress, was
to present the committee with four,

Mrs. Brandborg, a potential
juror in a capital murder trial in
Denton, refosed to answer certain
questions that she deemed too
personal. A judge promptly sen-
tenced her to three days in jail for
contempt of court.
The 48-year-old office manager
was stunned — not only that she
was sentenced to jail, but that she
apparently was fighting a battle
few had waged before.
“I think she’s a courageous
lady. I’m delighted that she’s cho-
sen to stand up,” said Don Doig,
who along with Larry Dodge co-
founded the Helmville, Mont.-
based Fully Informed Jury Asso-
ciation, which has a stated goal of
ensuring that jurors know their
rights and powers.
“This is the first (case). I think
we’ll see some more, though. It’s
been part of our reform package
for some time that jurors’ privacy
should be respected,” Doig said.
“This is just a real-world illustra-
tion of what we’re talking about.”
