WOW! You are quoting Shania Twain? More proof of your membership in the low information group. Frankly, our jury system does a pretty damn good job of getting things right. I pity you if you think it doesn't. I trust a juries far more than I trust the judges. The wisdom of juries are the cornerstone of our entire system. Conservatives know this. Your thinking they doubt this makes me wonder at your claim to be a conservative.
As to your insulting ". . . insect" remark and its effect on me. My ego is not effected in the least by your little efforts to wound me. I am so respected in my county I was appointed as the foreman of the first Criminal Grand Jury in our area in 25 years by a panel of Superior Court Judges. I sat in that position for one year. Again, I do know something about what I am talking about. We were not a "ham sandwich Grand Jury."
The County DA so respected our panel's judgement that he asked us to sit as a petit jury on a murder case in which they were not certain they had enough evidence to arrest the suspect. For six weeks, the DA had me sit as the judge in the case, ruling on evidence, admissibility of witnesses, etc., as they presented their case, while the DA acted as prosecutor and another Assistant DA acted for the defense, making objections. After they finished the case for the prosecution, they rested. no case for the defense was presented. We found they did not prove their case for conviction. I, however, wrote an alternative theory for them to investigate that DID result in an arrest and conviction three years later. I am not any kind of "insect" or someone of no consequence.
Frankly, Diogenes, it is YOU who is not impressive at all.
