What a travesty. Think of all the scum bags who are let go. Rush is bringing up Martha Stewart, says the jurors convicted her of something other than what she was charged with and waged class envy.

You might remember that some of the jurors felt she was "arrogant", which is not a crime.

I was on a jury last week. It was just a traffic situation, but we ended with a 4-2 hung jury, so the guy was found not guilty. The two holdouts were total maroons. They've watched too many crime shows and too much Court TV and too much Greta. They kept saying crap like "the proscutor could have done a better job explaining this or that". I tried to make it clear that if the prosecutor was up for salary review, that those remarks would have some weight, but that our job as jurors was to determine the dude's guilt or innocence based on the facts that were presented.

I'd hate to have my life depend on a jury of "my peers".

Any more, I sadly agree.

Please check your freepmail as I don't want to take away from this thread talking about Stewart.
