Reply To: I Worked For The State…

Our case involved an African American. Interestingly, the many African Americans sitting along with me were inclined almost at once to convict.

We deliberated for two days, actually intense. We went back to the court room about ten times to get more clarifications of the law, to have testimony reread. Every time – the same procession. Line up. Jury entering. Attendance. Judge’s instructions… Jury exiting. Locked back into jury room. At the end we all agreed that defendant was guilty beyond reasonable doubt. Actually beyond almost any doubt. Defendant did himself in by testifying.

You all should have heard the lawyers arguing. מיגו במקום עד, you should believe the witness (my client) because if he wanted to lie he could have said a better lie. And the same want by the other side!! Fascinating. אן אפענע תוספות. I wanted to point that out to my “club”
