When I hear people say, "How could the jury/judge possibly make that decision?" I tend to say, "Well, they heard all the evidence, and we didn't."
Sheesh, are you guys trying to bait me or what??
Don't get me started on juries. They are not perfect. I served on a jury for a murder trial for three weeks. We saw plenty of evidence that proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was guilty of a cold-blooded, drug related murder. What happened you ask? Jury was hung resulting in a mistrial. All because we had a couple of jurors that could not deal with having made the decision to put someone in jail for the rest of their life. They guy walked. No justice for the victim and the streets are now less safe. Having all the evidence does not mean you will make the right decision.
Anyway, we are waaaayy of topic on this thread now
