President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Devious Dank Brandon at it again!

 

Seventy-five million brain-dead imbeciles voting for Fat Orange Hitler.

We're all gonna be rich!

 

My friend's a criminal defense attorney in St. Louis who seems to specialize in run-of-the-mill violent crimes.
He'll tell you after a couple of beers that it's his experience that 99 percent of suspects put on trial are guilty, and that the idea that it's a 50/50 crapshoot is bullshit.

Well, the violent criminals that go to trial were first caught by police, which means their crimes were the easiest to solve and for which to collect evidence for trial. Open cases don't get to trial, and many violent crimes remain open cases for years or forever.

 

Some of them are starting to get it. It only took eight and a half years.

These fuckers want a real hero so badly.

 

Never been called for jury duty, but I’m surprised being a journalist would be grounds to remove anymore. It turned out we were no more influential than the guy running a muffler shop.

 

I was in the jury pool for federal civil court. I had to call a recorded message each Friday for a month to find out if my number had been chosen for the following week. I forgot once and got a phone call and a fairly stern warning against doing that again.

My number was called twice, so I had to drive from Lawrence to Kansas City to be kicked off the juries after the first round of questioning.

 

Served on a DUI trial. Guy was pulled over on a pretext stop, blew an .05 (legal limit is .08 here) but the cop said he "acted impaired." Took 10 minutes in the jury room to find him not guilty. But we sat around and talked for another 20 minutes so it didn't look like we rushed things.

I enjoyed it. The trick question they ask potential jurors is, "Do you wait until you hear all the information and testimony before you make up your mind?"Anyone who says yes gets tossed by the defense attorney. A lot of potential jurors forget his client is innocent until proven otherwise.

 

Ha, weird that the discussion has turned to jury duty - I'm 39, and just got my first summons in the mail this week, for the first week of May. I don't really have an explanation for why it took so long. I've only lived in two states, and always updated my license with moves and what not. My sister is 35, and she's gotten them four times. Like other posts in this thread, I'm assuming I might be excluded once they find out I was a cops and courts reporter for about a decade.
