9TH Circus Court of Appeals

[lowbridge]

. The court said buttons the victim's family wore at the trial may have influenced jurors.

"May have"? Did anyone even ask the jurors?

The 9th Circus clowns strike again.

Is the victim still dead, or did they reverse that, as well?

[mlc9852]

The 9th Circuit is an absolute disgrace to any semblance of justice in their jurisdiction. Out of control judiciary? Nah, just business as usual in this screwed-up court.

[Always Right]

You could argue tha just the presence of family members at the trial could influence the jury. By this asinine reasoning, family members should not be allowed to show up.

[Condor51]

Well, well, what a SHOCK!

The two majority 'judges' were appointed by Carter (Reinhardt) and Clinton (Marsha S. Berzon) and the dissenting JUDGE (David R. Thompson) was appointed by RR.

I can't believe I'm going to say this, but the 9th circuit has a pretty good point in this case. I don't know about overturning a conviction, but the judge in the original case screwed up by allowing the family to wear the buttons.

By having a button with a message like that it's like allowing them to testify without being cross examined.

Black robe klan white robe klan, they both terrorize the Innocent.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The judge who allowed this demonstation in his or her courtroom should be brought up on charges.

Judge's perspective: jurors are morons.
