Just finished up a rousing round of Jury Duty. Holy Shit is our system @#$*%#ed up! Was excited to be part of the process, but after sitting for 4-6 hours per day, hearing monotone attorneys and judges spew facts and figures.
Was an open and shut case, "NOT GUILTY"......no proof from prosecutors.
But low and behold, upon entering jury box to deliberate, judge passes along paper with laws on paper....thats when things get cloudy....according to judge, go by what you heard in court....evidence. But according to actual written law base your judgement on these facts.
Was a cluster*%@@, very disheartning.
Don't get me wrong, try to be a Honest American, live by example ect....and love my country. Am glad to have jury of peers to persecute(I mean prosecute) me, but having such confusing standards made me wonder how well "Justice is Served."
Stay under the radar friends......as has become crystal clear to me....Justice comes in different flavors....
Poor=Court Appointed Attorney=Kiss your ass good bye
Middle=Lawyers with bad topee's and suits=flip a coin
High End=You don't even need to show up in court...your high price attorney has taken care of it all....if not right verdict...postpone....throw some paperwork at the judge....2-3 years down the road....crime has lost luster...You have landed on "Free Parking."
Happy New Years!
