Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire If you were on a jury in a murder trial....

The defendant was in the courtroom the two times I was called. One was a child molester, I was excused because my former BIL is a registered sex offender. The second was a threatening with a weapon. I was not picked but I don't know why.

"Bottoms faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison if found guilty, according to the news outlet."
There is no justice.

As usual sir, you are correct. It's not something I would do, because I just don't care that much about what others think, but some folks have bad acne issues, or burns, and feel that anything would be an improvement. Even if it just takes your attention away from how they really look.
Could I be impartial? I already am, and will await the evidence.

whoa
whoa
whoa.....hold up

His names is "Bottoms" ????


hahahahahahaha, he's really headed to Pound Me In The Ass Prison

Easier to do that than trying to understand how a 24 year old dude could have accidentally had anally raped a 12 year old girl.

I stood up and said that i could not see that happening.

They let me go home.

I never get picked for Jury Duty. I sold our local PD Chief and most of his officers their duty weapons back when I was in the Firearms Industry.

Here’s how It usually goes:

Defense Attorney: “Do you know any of the witnesses?”

Me: “Yep. The Police Officer”

Defense Attorney: “How Do you know him”

Me: “I sold him his duty weapon”

Defense Attorney: “You’re Dismissed”

On a jury with him as a defendant????

That's one guilty mofo as far as I'm concerned.
I wouldnt pay attention to anything in the arguments other than what I found interesting .
Rest of the time I would be daydreaming, thinking about guns and gun projects.
Scoping out any attractive women in the court.

Ect ect ect .

Too easy
Why burn brain cells about a POS like that.....


Then I would use my jury duty money for 7.62 x 39 ammo
And if the jury was sequestered I would max the fugg out my daily chow allowance from room service also.
And I would be rubbing one out in my hotel room thinking of any hot women that was in the court also.

One must focus solely on the evidence.

Admit, the guy would be an easy pick in a line-up.

Looks like his twin brother was shot and killed in MS while a warrant was being served. Given that and both of their extensive crimes over the years it would be tough to be impartial.

It would be rather hard to overlook.

BTW, this guy had the beginnings of a rather nice IRA or other financial investment before!

I wonder if they got matching face tattoos so folks couldn't tell them apart.

i know a guy who screwed up big with his facial tatts and did some time, one of the few I believe is rehabilitated.
I have no ink myself and never will, but after meeting the guy I know, with out facts and evidence I think I could be impartial.

The old adage of don't judge a book by its cover, and never judge a man by his family.

Seems like the majority of these guys have had no father or father figure in there life. It's sad, being a divorced father in a very biased system, my oldest boys know who there dad is
I might not retire before I die, but my oldest know there dad, and know that dad love is pure, and dad loves them no matter what, but dad stands for what is right. End of story.
Unfortunately, my oldest has developed an inherent mis-trust for woman, particularly their mother. During his mom's visitation it a kicking screaming affair, that no child should ever be a victim too. He dreads when he has to see his mom, and i feel so bad for him, he love his step mom (my wife) and his grandmothers (both sides) but is afraid of his mother.


Sorry for the rant just feeling really bad for a kid today.

That is information you are not supposed to have during the voir dire... actually, not until after the trial.

Pretty much locks a fellow into a minimum wage type career...

"Having jury duty" and actually being selected to sit on a jury isn't the same thing.
The jury is selected in the presence of everyone involved in the trial.

At best.
Or, just become “self employed “.

Isn't his appearance and demeanor part of the evidence, perhaps a small part, but evidence none the less? I would be suspicious of a potential juror who said, "Nope, doesn't matter to me in the least.

Yep, the prosecutor still needs to prove their case.

How'd you like for this guy to be serving you a burger at McDonald's?

Guilty
