“But apparently you do not read”
he is 27, he admitted to having sex with a 15 year old. he also admitted to providing booze and drugs to girls under 14 years of age.
The five-man, seven-woman jury deliberated for about 30 minutes
Yeah, that's an emotionless, contemplative and logical time to reach a verdict.
Jasso’s attorney, John Tinder, told jurors that the girls’ testimony contained many inconsistencies and improbabilities. For instance, he said, one of the girls testified she performed oral sex on Jasso but was unaware he had only one testicle. And one of the girls testified that Jasso came over to her home in the Capehart subdivision every morning for a month and had sex with her. Tinder reminded the jury that an adult caregiver who came over to the house daily testified she never saw Jasso at the home in the morning hours. And, Tinder told the jury, how was it that Jasso could have sex with the girl in the home and the girl’s parents be unaware.
Hmmmm, golly; something smells here. Now, is this guy a creep, a degenerate and probably guilty of something? Yup. But 317 years after a 30 minute deliberation? This is a knee-jerk verdict by a hysterical jury - just like we had in the 'Little Rascals' convictions.
If the jury can do this to him, they can do the same to us. IMHO, no physical evidence, no crime.
