A New York judge is drawing criticism for allegedly saying a man suffering a heart attack while in a jury pool "can wait" for "a few more minutes." A report filed by a court officer said Nyima Dorjee, 39, was sitting in a jury pool last week for a gun possession trial when he complained to the questioning prosecutor of chest pains and difficulty breathing, the New York Post reported Thursday. The report said the officer informed Justice Joel Blumenfeld of the situation, but the judge told the officer to allow the prosecutor to finish his round of questions.
