BREAKING: Texas Grand Jury Indicts Governor Rick Perry

[jberryhill]

89. "people in Texas will think"

I don't know how many juries you have dealt with, but the issue is not what "people in Texas think".

Let's say that only 8.3% of "people in Texas" would think Perry was justified.

Okay?

8.3% - that's a tiny minority of people in Texas who would agree with Perry on this.

Got that number?

Good. Remember, that's actually lower than the number of people who think W was the greatest president ever, just to give you some idea where on the bell curve we are here....

Now, I'm going to tell you that you need to convince 12 Texans, unanimously, that Perry was not justified.

Can you tell me, based on those two numbers, what are your odds of getting a conviction?

I'll give you a hint: 1/12 = .083
