The problem is that juries these days mostly consists of welfare people, government employees and only a few who are not **dependent** minded.

There needs to be limitations on what juries can award under situations unless there was proved intent that the Judge also agrees with that suggest punitive damages are due.

There needs reforms and perhaps if possible professional jurors some day if we keep getting outrageous results.

I don't think law enforcement drove to this place intending to break into the wrong area.

Some mistakes happen, we don't want ANY but all they can do is review and do the best they can to avoid a similar mistake in the future.

Even surgeons accidentally kill people now and then without intention of doing so and they also do future surgeries.

Lets see, if I build a nuke in my back yard but only accidentally hit the button, I should get off easy because it was accidental. Sorry, with the more power comes the more duty for care with it.

Frankly, that's a problem with juries and with citizens who shirk their duty to serve on juries. (And it is a duty) We are getting the kind of juries we deserve.

We need to change to attitude of the average person concerning jury duty.

It didn't seem that way the time I've had jury duty. It has always seemed like a good cross section of society.
