Terri Been’s voice shook as she read a long text message from her niece.
“I had a nightmare about my dad last night,” Paige Rowan told her aunt in the text.
Rowan described a dream in which she watched helplessly as the execution needle pierced her father’s skin.
She woke up screaming, panicking and feeling hopeless, she told Been.

>>That is why we have juries.
Yes. 12 people who were too stupid to get out of jury duty.
Post 90.
In post #62, you implied that the bus full of nuns story was a real case which happened in Dallas County. I was just trying to coax more details out of you about what must have been a very unusual case. Sorry if I misunderstood #62.
Nor did he even give the order. I don’t believe he was even present at the Wannsee Conference. He merely let his underlings know that the Final Solution would not draw his disapproval.
>>Post 90.
LOL. Good for you!! Keep serving. Keep believing!
I’ve served on 3. All were a colossal waste of time. Very little to do with innocence or guilt. Everything to do with attorney persuasion and jury-picking skills. The pre-trail questioning of jurors is the opposite of what a “jury of your peers” should be.
You’ve been here that long and have such thin skin?
“My dad was murdered by 2 punks with a gun. Both are now out and on the street.”
Please accept my condolences for your loss. I can’t begin to imagine your anger about that injustice.
... and he luft docs and schilderends. Und vat a painter, he could paint a whole apartermunt in one day! Two coats!
I just want to know the details of the case. Was there a news story?
I guess I was not in the mood.
Hillary/Chelsea dynasty are staring us in the face and we are eating our own.
Nope. Can't say that I have. Is that the one that says Thou shall not kill?
Actually, the salient point of that verse is another Bible verse that requires ye shall not bear false witness, translated in modern day to "It is a bigger crime to convict one innocent person than to let 10 guilty people go free." Communist China, by the way, does not subscribe to that. If they get the wrong guy, well, that's just bad luck. In other words, you are incorrectly apply scripture.
I teach them to honor our constitution and their responsibilities, and respect what the founding fathers held dear and as a God given right.
If you think teaching them to revere the constitution is something to laugh at, we disagree.
I’ve served on several and they can be as you describe if you roll over and let it happen. Be thoughtful and be smart, convince other jurors and then you can proudly say you did your duty honorably. If you concede to the abusers of the system then it appears to me you lost the right to malign juries and jurors.
IMHO
Genesis 9:6
Whosoever sheddeth man’s blood, by man, shall his blood be shed, for in the image of God made he man.
That’s reasonable.
I’m a Dennis Prager fan, and he always asks whether a death penalty advocate would be as willing an executioner. He claims personally that he would do it, knowing the heinousness of what that particular perpetrator had done. Even more so had the victim been a child.
So would I.
Of course not. In both the Old & New Testament EXECUTION of
murderers is COMMANDED in order to rid the land of these
outrages. - My dad is a combat veteran of WWII & was an
ABSOLUTE necessity! I grew up eating meat & have always
eaten meat. - The German people had allowed Adolph Hitler
to take complete control; a cautionary tale to all of us.
I get called up for jury duty every 3 yrs. or so. I’m
hoping they’ll take my name off the list now that I’m 70;
but I don’t know if they will or not. Defense lawyers won’t
want me on any jury in a murder trial. I support the death
penalty.
LOL
Well. Maybe “stupid” as you say; but, then again it is a
part of the RESPONSIBILITY OF BEING A CITIZEN.
So, back your ears, take a deep breath, get ready to hurry
up and wait; then carefully consider the evidence and try
to do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
(IF I murdered someone in cold blood, I would have someone
to require my miserable life in payment.)

That’s my view on capital punishment too. That’s why this case is a problem for me. I’d throw the switch, press the plunger, or pull the trigger on a person who actually killed someone, but I wouldn’t do it to a person who was just a part of the initial

Yes it is. And if there weren’t so many ways to get out of jury duty, then I’d feel less like a chump for sticking around. As I said in an earlier post, if they called in 18 and chose 12, that would be OK. But the last time I got called for jury duty, they called 60 for a jury of 6. They quickly whittled it down to 40 and selection took 8 hours.
The case was a custodial grandmother who spanked her child in public but not enough to leave a mark. I was in the final 20 but at the end, they dismissed 100% of the men because both attorneys agreed to that.
That is our justice system.
Exactly why we had PUBLIC hangings!
