This last Thursday, I was summoned for jury duty at the local Superior Court.
I was seated on a jury by 11:15 am and the judge began to tell the jury something about the case.
The perp was a young Latino male in his twenties. *He was using the service of a court apppointed translator so you can draw your own conclusions about his immigration status.
Anyway, the judge informed the jury that this was a criminal case and that the accused was alleged to have committed sexual molestation of a 7 year old female, family member. *We were also informed that he had committed a similar offense on a 3 year old female in the year 2000. Remember? "They only come to commit the crimes Americans refuse to do!" http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/barf.gif
This brief indoctrination ended at 12:00 when the judge declared recess and instucted the jury to return at 1:30 pm.
I went out for lunch and returned at the appointed time. *We were then informed that the case had been disposed and that the jury was discharged.
I just wonder if it might have had something to do with the fact that while I was seated, looking at the Public Defender, (You don't think these people actually pay for a lawyer, do you) I placed my right extended hand across my throat and drew it back in a cutting motion? *Well really I didn't. *Matter of fact, I wouldn't even look at the perp or the P.D. so as not to give him a reason to kick me.
But I'll assure you of one thing: *I would have listened to the evidence with an open mind. *But doubt very seriously that piece of crap would have walked. *Too many jurors revealed they had daughters during the judge's questioning.
This slime most likely copped a plea and instead of getting 20, he probably pleaded guilty for 10. *But in prison, there really is some kind of honor among theives. *Child molesters are the scum of the earth even among inmates. *Anybody think this guy will last more than a year or two?
Yeah, McCain, Kolbe, Flake and Grijalva! *We really, really need open borders! Hope you Arizonas get rid of every one of them. *Is McCain up for election next time?
And hey! *Ever notice how much Grijalva looks like Poncho Villa?
