Area KKK leader excused from jury duty

SOUTH BEND — Railton Loy was more than a little surprised recently when he found a summons in the mail ordering him to appear for jury duty.

The Imperial Wizard of the National Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, based in Osceola, was fairly certain he wouldn't make the best candidate.

"I should not be on any jury, you know that," Loy said during a recent phone interview. "I'm the imperial wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. I should be removed."

After receiving the summons, Loy called the St. Joseph County courthouse and also sent The Tribune a letter requesting he be excused.

If ordered to appear, Loy said, he planned to wear his full KKK uniform to jury selection in the hopes of being "thrown out."

1. Just Damn! I'd give anything to be there. I'd even wear one a

them adult diapers so nobody knew I peed myself while rolling on the floor.

2. They don't want people with wacko views on juries

That's why I don't think I'll ever be picked.

3. my dad is a retired prosecutor in a small town

they once had a well known local businessman in the jury pool. When the judge asked him if he could render an impartial verdict, he said "judge, everybody in town knows I'm wishy washy." It didn't work.

4. I once got caught with a 3 inch long, 1" diameter socket...

...wrapped on one end with electrical tape.

That was my first felony.

I'm excused from jury duty for life.

5. If it was a non-violent drug case I'd openly tell the Court that I would be a nullifying juror

which would likely get me dismissed.

7. My excuse starts at "My son, a senior prosecutor in the Brooklyn, New York District Attorney's

office..." It's pretty much the end of the it...
