Shame upon you rtabs to shy away from a civic duty.
Why is your time more precious than everyone else’s? It is no wonder that so many cases have thge wrong outcome, because so many people are evading their civic obligation.
The fact that you rtabs may think that having a jury decide somebody’s fate to be an absurd & redicillous system, is your perogative, and I couldn’t agree more wholeheartedly with you. If a Judge or attorney or court officer has to make such decisions, their career is on the pipeline, so they will take utmost care to arrive at the correct decision. The Jury has no future career depend on their decision and simply wants to get it over with and go home.
So yes rtabs, I absolutely agree with you, that the jury system is a miserable failure. But until such time that the system changes, no-one including you & your wife, are above the current law & system.
