They let you go to lunch alone when you are on trial for murder? Seriously?

He should have been sitting in the court room, in chains and shackles. I guess they know that now.

Samuel said a judge issued a bench warrant for Bridgers’ arrest, and his name was entered into the National Crime Information Center database as a fugitive subject to extradition.

Did he finish his lunch?

Did he eat and say “I gotta run”?

This will be another test for the police. Do they dare to try and apprehend a member of one of the protected classes who will be transformed into a choir boy by BLM and the media,

I was on the jury for a murder trial last summer and WE couldn’t go out to lunch. It was brought to us in the jury room. Smokers had to go out to smoke accompanied by a bailiff.
