“Sitting on the jury are two people who were convicted of murder and spent 20 years in prison.”
Bring back the death penalty and solve that problem.

How could you do that, when a slew of them could be elected to the Legislature?

California has over 700 people on death row right now.

We “MAY” have put one to death in the last decade.

If it is a death penalty case, then they will have to dig up the jurors.

Well they could use inmates on death row. They are usually there for a good 20-30 years at least.

Wondering how the murderers, rapists, and thieves will vote in a murder, rape and theft case.

I think I can guess which side they will take.

And that is the intention of the politicians. They will gladly let us be killed for a few votes.

Inmates know everyone lies. Released inmates will vote everyone guilty.

Which brings up a question. If we are to have a jury of our peers and we are not felons, does a felon on a jury count as a peer?

WAY too little.

California needs to pass a law giving tax breaks for every murder and rape you commit.

California is not a American state anymore. The dominoes will fall and we will see other states soon follow.
