According to TMZ, the 21 year old Kristen Stewart was on a jury duty as a part of her civic duty. Stewart was a member of a Los Angeles County jury that was deciding the fate of a man accused of trying to solicit a prostitute. The Twilight star attended a 3-day trial where the defense argued that their client was innocent as he did not speak or understand English well and the whole sex solicitation thing was just a case of lost in translation. The man was, however, pronounced innocent.
When the Hollywood beauty requested to retain her juror badge she was allowed to do so.
However, just when things began to be peachy gloom descended upon the star-gazing security guard who posed for a photo with the actress at the courthouse for snapping a shot of Stewart, according to E! Online.
Stewart goodheartedly decided to click a photo with the guard but trouble ensued when the photo became public. The photo was then posted online by the guard’s friend’s wife before it was quickly picked up by various media outlets and made public. Now it seems that the people involved may have violated some rules and may stand to lose their jobs for taking a picture with the actress.
“Cancelled because unfortunately the photo that went up from Kristen in court was stolen and put on several blogs and got to the media and reached the ears of the court,” the wife wrote online. “Right now my husband and the security guard are in trouble for it having gone up and second because it is confidential when celebrities are in court. Now I feel bad. … I am really scared, because I think it is possible that they could lose their jobs.”
We are yet to receive a comment from the actress’ side.
