So during jury duty today one of the questions to the pool of perspective jurors was "do you believe that the counts read aloud about the accused would lead you to believe he has done something wrong". Now there were 8 counts this guy was facing ranging anywhere from armed robbery to eluding police. I could understand a count or two, but could anyone truthfully say after hearing 8 counts as serious and ranging as this that they wouldnt feel the suspect at the least did "something" wrong:shrug: Me and 6 others out of 40 were the only ones that said we felt he must of done at least something. No way in hell that 34 of those people looked over at that man and didnt think he had done at least something. No I didnt get picked for this trial, but it was because of my friendship with the defense lawyer. Funny thing is when the Prosecuter struck me because of our friendship my buddy thanked him since he was going to do the same thing, saying "I know he would have sent him to prison". Maybe I am just this cynical but could anyone actually say no to that question?
Could you answer no to this?

I think it has something to do with they are innocent until proven guility
when you think they are guilty from the outset,
thats called guilt with extreme prejudicial malfeasance

There is a difference in thinking he must have done "something" and believing he is guilty on all counts no?

Sorry I would have to say yes.
And I just talked to DTB on his cell phone.
DTB said - someone get a rope
It's easy to multiply paperwork. They could come up with fifteen counts against you for pissing in public. They count on people like you believing they are the good guys who would never lie or abuse their power, and they also know if they charge someone multiple times for the same offense they can get him to plea bargain, keeping their conviction rate high.
I think it is a dumbass question. I am not an attorney - but I think I would know that asking a question like that is stupid unless he was just trying to quickly thin the pool......:shrug:
Okay let me be more clear the charges were for different things centering around his alleged armed robbery. Stealing girlfriends car, hitting someone with said car, along with other things where he would have been seen. I have little faith in a single witness I'd but when so many different things occur to so many different people, I can't answer no to the before mentioned question. If you could then congrats.
I hear you. Most people if being honest like you were would say yes. The ones who didn't are probably just folks who WANT to be on a jury and will say that to be considered. IMO. Or maybe they think that's what they SHOULD say.
No jacket but of course slacks shirt and tie. Picture a well dressed butch huskey.
