The more I know that I need mercy, the more I think others should receive mercy from me. Maybe I’m wrong, but I have nothing to live on but unmerited mercy.
As I’ve said above, I’m not making decisions about death penalties. I have a vote, but what effect it has on anything past the City Sewer Board level, I’m sure I don’t know.
I was on the jury panel once for a capital murder case, but the judge told me I was a smartass, thanked me for the amusement value, and said I was “dismissed for cause.”
I understand.
