Manheisfucked Jury Seated

[hlthe2b]

9. My last jury duty was for a local murder. Two days to go through all the tricks the defense lawyer

could think of to try to "expose" and thus remove those of us who were not absolutely rabidly pro-gun. (I didn't know it at the time, but the guy went BACK home after an argument with an elderly neighbor to get his AR15 to kill him and they were going to go for "self defense"!!!! BROTHER)

When the issue of what constituted "self-defense"came up, I had literally come across as though I knew the case (I didn't) saying that it would be ridiculous to maintain self defense if there was evidence someone went to get a gun and came back to use it--! Sometimes, I DO manage to say the right thing, even by accident.

So, after all that I get kicked off at the very end of the last day of jury selection, but then the Defense Lawyer sees the writing on the wall and goes for a "Hail Mary" mental deficiency defense, requiring a mental health evaluation. So, after all that, a MISTRIAL.

This was two years ago, and afaik, the case has still not been adjudicated.

So, good on the Rocket Docket.


On edit, it seems the trial is now set for this October (the murder occurred in 2015)... Sheesh...
