"Guilty" Juries

By "Ipse Dixit"

I have decided that I am NEVER talking to another guilty jury again. It is my second loss in a row (I won one count and lost one count in both trials, but who cares as the counts merge for sentencing anyway) and this last jury was the first guilty one that I spoke with.They kept saying things like:"You know, we really had a big problem with (some prosecution theory)"Or"You know, we had a question about (something the prosecution claimed)"Or"We weren't so sure about (some element)"You know these things called questions, I like to call them DOUBTS. And those fucking doubts are REASONABLE. That means you had REASONABLE DOUBT, which is why you should have voted NG just like I told you to. Bastards.I like winning so much more than losing.
