Ever been on a jury? I have twice. Too many buffoons. Guilty or Not Guilty isn’t good enough. Everybody wants to “send a message” to somebody other than the defendent. Buffoons.
Well, I have been on juries 3 times, once as a foreman, and did not run into any of that at all. Granted, as a foreman I did have to straighten out one juror who seemed to think whether he got home by 5 pm was more important than whether or not we sent a guy to jail for a couple years!!!
Maybe I’m in a “better” part of the country for finding reasonable and responsible (for the most part) jurors... :-)
