[QUOTE="av8torntn, post: 884821, member: 8259"] I've actually thought about this subject a bit. I just did my first jury duty about a year ago and I understood why the conviction rate is so high. When they were picking the jury the judge asked for a show of hands from anyone who wanted to be there that day. I was the only one to raise my hand and he made me stand up and he asked me why. I said because a jury trial is part of what makes this Country great. It's sad but the primary thing the jury thinks about is going home. This was in a trial where the guy was facing life in prison and every break all anyone talked about was why they didn't hurry the thing up more. With all of our flaws the best way to fight an oppressive government is with the jury system in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
