Lockett says the jury only deliberated for three minutes.

Now THAT'S a jury.

Absolutely. Not much of a DA/prosecutor team though. Why in the world did they ever charge him?

It’s a lot quicker to acquit than convict. I was on a jury in February that convicted a woman on 3 counts of aggravated robbery and 1 count of child endangerment when she plowed over 3 WalMart employees with her car while getting away from being detained for shop lifting. It took us 25 minutes to get everything done. It would have taken just 15, but we did have to go over each charge individually.

But did the “victim” have Skittles in his pocket? Critical missing info from the article.

Here’s a defense that nobody ever uses any more. JUDGE I’D RATHER BE TRIED BY 12, THAN BE CARRIED BY 6. In the old days, this was one of the defenses that was very popular.

Now if the poor schmuck could just get all the $$$
he spent on legal fees back from the yellow stain
of a DA that charged him justice would REALLY have
been served.

FYI they have a poll asking if SYG should be repealed to FReep. Currently 90% want the law to stay.

The story is a bit confusing about what happened, and who pulled the gun, for what reason.

The problem is, if you pull a gun, you should use it.

To understand this case, we need to know the race of both of the individuals who were involved. /sarc

No description of the thug who attacked him? No discussion of charges for the real criminal?
