I know I am going to get flamed hard for this..but I have lost confidence in our jury system..I know I don't have a better answer for it..our judges are totally out of control..but our jury system is sadly unique in our country..no where, not NASA, not our military, no Fortune 500 company, I mean no where do we find the dumbest of the dumb to sit in judgment or make decisions about those groups..yet we routinely ask these same people to sit in judgment of violent and dangerous criminals..I know blake is not going to go on a murder spree..but we need a better system..
No flame here. But to restore your confidence, I suggest you go to your local county courthose and observe a few jury trials. My bet is you would agree with the jury verdict in nearly every case.
