Five days in jail, and a $1,200 fine. I'm going to go with this is a disproportionate sentences based on the crime.

Want to discourage people from serving on jury duty ? Send them to jail !

It doesn't seem that extreme. He is mishandling justice, something that imo should have strict punishment. Fair and equal justice process is one of the most important things.

Well the details are a bit unclear so I'm guessing. It sounds like he said something like "I heard about this case. This guy is (guilty/Not Guilty)". In which case it's a lousy sentence.
