Ever think to yourself you wouldn’t mind being on a jury, safely excused from work for a couple of weeks?

Think about the warning federal prosecutors gave jurors yesterday at the start of the child porn trial of John Jackey Worman, of Colwyn.

Assistant U.S. Prosecutor Michelle Rotella referred to the case as “every parent’s nightmare” and warned jurors that the images they would see in the case against Worman will have a profound effect on them.

Even Worman’s defense attorney had a warning for jurors.

“Your lives will be altered by what you are going to experience as a result of your jury duty,” Mark Cedrone said.

Worman is standing trial in federal court on child-porn charges. At the heart of the case against him are more than a million images of child porn the feds say they found on his computer.

The images can only be described as “depraved.”

The press and public will not see the graphic images that make up part of the feds’ case against Worman. Normally I’m one who does not like such a shield when it comes to public information.

In this case I might make an exception.

Yes, journalists are routinely described as a crusty, cynical, cold-hearted group.

But some days you just shake your head.

In this instance, justice might best be described as akin to what is often said about making sausage. It’s not a process you should ever see.

That doesn’t make it any easier to digest.
