"Investment" is the term used by liberals to describe robbing Peter to pay Paul, but that doesn't make it so.
Well, let me put it this way to you, Steve-b. If I were sitting on this jury, and the facts determined that this lawyer's neighbor molested his daughter, then I would vote to set the lawyer free.
I would do it to send a message to the judicial and political powers that be that citizens are fed up with molesters and rapists and murderers systematically being set loose by a broken system to commit more heinous crimes.
How's that? Now: what the hell was your stupid point?
