Forget nightclubs, hook up in court
Love blossomed at a New York City murder trial last year between jurors Traci Nagy and Jonathan Cinkay. They picked up their marriage license last week, and Queens County Supreme Court Justice Daniel Lewis, who presided over the case, is to marry them next month, a newspaper reported.
The two made goo-goo eyes on the first day, and fellow jurors encouraged Nagy, 36, to date Cinkay, 33.
The judge said he had noticed that rather than the usual somber panel, this jury seemed “full of beaming, happy people,” but he “didn’t imagine they were all playing matchmaker.”
The warm feelings didn’t do the murder defendant much good. He was convicted.
