Jury's out

By swd

I tried a armed robbery/aggravated assault this week. I think it is a fairly good case, despite what the story sounds like at first blush. Four guys get robbed, allegedly by three other guys, and a cop just happens to roll buy and interrupt it. My guy runs. But everything was very confused in the witness statements and descriptions, the evidence wasn't collected very well, and one guy pled guilty.

The jury went out today at 1:30 and will be coming back in the morning.

On another note, this is my 100th post.
