I think the cops could do with much more range time; and,
what is it with shooting the mother and sister? How much of a degenerate could the guy be?

Last summer I had jury duty. It was a murder case. The accused shot his grandfather in the chest because he refused to give him a hundred dollars for booze and drugs.
The prosecution’s witnesses were the guy’s mother, grandmother and sister.
When I was questioned during the jury selection process, I simply stated that if his own mother, grandmother and sister were the eye witnesses, why were we wasting time with a trial? I was dismissed and allowed to go home.

“Jury nullification” gets a quick trip out of the courtroom, too.
