from today's Fairfield Ledger http://www.ffledger.com
"Shuvender Sem, the 25-year-old former Maharishi University of Management student charged with murdering a fellow student in March 2004, has waived his right to a jury trial. The decision means Sem will be tried by a single judge rather than by a 12-person jury." ** Kind of surprising, as many townspeople would regard MUM as such a nutty environment that they would be disposed to treat Sem less harshly, I would think. On the other hand, all the judges are non-ru (AFAIK), and also completely familiar with the frequently-shaky mental health profile of the TM community in Fairfield, so this could work for Sem too, which obviously was his lawyers' opinion.
