If any of you don't recall the last post, i went for an employment drug screening and left with a Disorderly Conduct: Language charge. I called her a cunt when she wouldn't give me a urinalysis until i pulled the mask over my nose.. Just left the pre-trial conference. They offered me 3 years probation and 4 months in jail. Set it to trial. Apparently in America words are violence and just like Britain, you can be sent to jail for it. As it is a misdemeanor they have denied my request for a jury trial. Looks like this pedes getting a show trial by some leftwing activist judge before I am summarily imprisoned. Can't believe I fought for this country. Our rights are being litigated away while current military think they are fighting to protect them. Fuck these commie pieces of shit!! Carry on the fight without me boys! I'll be with you in spirit!!

I dunno if he was well to do or not. I can tell you we argued and argued for hours. Like I said. Soul draining.
It was almost the end of the day. Compromise was the name of the game. We got some people to give, we gave a little.
To be honest he may have deserved it. He might have been an old prick. I don't know. All I know is I was not happy with what I saw as a juror.
He may have also been an upstanding man who was forced out on the street and died destitute from your actions. Unable to afford the medications he needed to keep him alive. Someone who doesn't understand why after a lifetime of hard work a jury took everything he had when he had done nothing wrong.
Judges instructions were to not consider his ability to pay. I did my duty in not letting crazies take him for 80-100k.
You justified your actions because he MAY have deserved it. I only ask what if that was you? You didn't hurt anyone and the court ordered you to pay $40,000? That would ruin me.
I did think he was at fault to a degree. So yes. He deserves something. Group disagreed on level (future versus past pain and suffering). The compromise was 40k.
My point was jury trial sucks, and they do. They aren't able to remedy everything. They are instructed to ignore certain arguments that are not facts or presented to you (e.g. oh the poor old man, what if he's on fixed income?) And the other participants keep you true to ignoring them as a general rule.
The point also is you should try not to go to jury trial of you have options. We ran into his lawyer after. His lawyer tried to have him settle before for about 28k, but he was being stubborn, and he lost his bet that a jury would fully acquit him based on his arguments.
He gambled and lost.
Don't bet on american juries now.
Kindly get off my back.
