Man avoids death penalty because jury wasn't black enough

More than one person did it, which is why I didn't quote.

 

I am full of fail.

 

Is that a peremptive attempt to escape being called out?

 

No all-dyslexic jury in the world would convict me.

 

Few know those were the original lyrics for Hurricane.

 

Did you just out him as Bob Dylan?

 

God, I'm glad I was a finicky bitch.

This thread just got much more entertaining.

 

I went to the box. Two minutes. Felt shame.

Least that's the story of the Hurricane.

 

The point is that if they were random -- i.e., in the only way we could be CERTAIN no shenanigans are afoot -- you'd get some squirrelly results. Because the jury in question is well within the realm of what we'd see if nothing untoward had been done, I'm hesitant to infer racism on the part of the prosecutor.

 

It's not necessarily racism on the part of the prosecutor, so much as he's counting on racism to help him get a desired result.

 

What would you suggest we do to kidnappers?

 

Is that a real question?

Okay, put them in jail. They committed a crime, they should be punished. I am not against the idea of jail as you must think, just killing people.
