I had a bad week.
Kind of like dying, waking up in Hell, and finding that the only toilet is stopped up.
I got called for jury duty again Tuesday and Wednesday.

The day started off when my coffee maker malfed, and I didn't get any coffee.
As usual, I got picked to be the Foreman on a child molestation case, lawyered by famous local scumbag Al Lowes.
If you've done some really awful sex crime, especially involving kids, you hire 70 year old Al. He really knows how to trash out a child on the witness stand.

As usual, I had to put my name on the document finding the mutoid Not Guilty.
This is standard. The mutoids are always careful not to have witnesses to the abuse, and old Al is "great" at bullying and confusing a child about what happened years ago when she was 7.

As usual, after the verdict was in, I asked the prosecutor to come into the jury room to talk to those jurors interested enough to hang around.
Most of the jurors were people who thought Bush is destroying the country, our poor teachers just need more money, and a man wouldn't actually "groom" a little girl for later use when she reaches his "target" age.

As usual, he told us about the OTHER time the mutoid was up to bat. Seems while he was grooming the 7 year old, he was also doing a 14 year old. Of course we weren't told about that BEFORE the trial.
Lowes did a wonderful defense job there too. He scared the parents so much, they refused to help with prosecution, and moved to Kentucky.

After the prosecutor told them about the "innocent" defendant there were a few gasps, but for some reason, nobody would look me in the eye.
The nice liberal jurors were SHOCKED, SHOCKED to learn these facts, then they dived into the county-provided sandwiches and drinks.
I left. For some reason I wasn't hungry.

As I was waiting for the elevator, the mutoid and his wife, and Lowes came down the hall for the elevator.
The creep smiled at me and said: "Thank you Mr. Faris".
I said: "Kiss my a**", and went back to the jury room until they left. They didn't like it, but I was real concerned about that.

Later, as I was getting into my car, I saw them coming out of the court house. I went over and talked to the Chaffee Police Chief, who was also leaving, (and probably thinking about pistol shooting).

He told me that the trash was well known in the Chaffee-Oran-Delta area. He's done it before, and will do it again. They'll be watching, but of course, he first has to go after another little girl, and of course, old Al will be ready to defend him.

And of course some Yob like me will be sitting there, knowing what's going on, but unable to convince a bunch of fools, and knowing that he has to do what the Law demands.

In the last 7 years, I've been called 3 times. I've got one gay murderer doing 2 life sentences, and 2 child molesters running around free, thanks to Al Lowes and the fact that when it comes down to the word of a scared, confused kid, you can't get "Beyond A Reasonable Doubt".

So, I'm done. I've done my civic duty, so when they call me in about 2 years, I'm getting a doctor's excuse.

As for Al Lowes, as somebody once said:
"You'll smoke a turd in Hell for that".

I can empathize. Seems like for awhile all I did was jury duty, usually foreman, then when I moved to another county...my number came up again.

Yes I agree, that gut feeling you know the "alleged" doesn't normally shave, and wear a coat and tie, the jury kicks him loose only to find out later the previous history...or the upcoming trial. Nobody made eye contact with me either a few times.

I know it is the best system...but does make one wonder huh?.

Rape case: the ladies thought what a handsome young man...the ladies said this...we guys were wanting to send out for rope. Murder, child molestations, and some of the "white collar" stuff ain't to pretty either.

I was on a couple of self defence cases, and whoa, the mill the poor people went through just defending themselves.

Yep, I understand, boy do I.
 
How utterly sick. What is the States cree now, For the children? Uh Huh.:barf:

You had a natural reaction in the parking lot. Don't do it though, it's tween him & God now. I've stood in front of people who deserved shootin before, thank the lord I didn't do it. It didn't make feel good to walk away either. That was the hard part. The wondering if you've released a predator to victimize more. Seems like its always about the little girls too.:banghead:

Let it go. You should probably show up again if they call you up. Maybe just do a little surrepticious homework under the table next time to be sure.
 
My mother got called for a jury pool recently and couldn't believe how stupid the people were and how they kept trying to make themselves look important, intelligent, etc. during the questioning. Out of 60 people, they only got 20 questioned during the day b/c the idiots wouldn't shut up and kept giving soliloquys about themselves and their thoughts on the question/matter at hand. This was only for a civil case. It ended up that the judge dismissed everyone since both sides didn't place much hope in finding qualified jurors from that pool.

As the saw goes, ...12 people too stupid to get out of jury duty.

God help you if you think your doing a civic and moral duty by showing up. I always get someone else to fill out my response card and sign it for me, as that invalidates it where I am.
 
I really hate it when I read about how the justice system is so twisted and convoluted. Stuff like this isn't very heartening.

Unfortunately, I have to close this one for being OT.
