US juries get verdict wrong in one of six cases: study
Jun 28 09:55 AM US/Eastern

(Absolutely. Think of what stupid idiots your neighbors and coworkers and relatives are. Now imagine them deciding on your fate.
You are guilty until you prove yourself innocent, not the other way around.
I would actually feel more confident going to trial if I was guilty than innocent. If innocent I might take a powder. |
