14. The argument that this decision was based on law and reasonableness is in shambles

Tue Jul 16, 2013, 09:44 PM

Jul 2013

What else are they going to say now? They let a killer walk out the door. Their decision has been exposed as racist stupidity that didn't even follow the judge's instructions. They've seen the shit storm that attended the thoughts of their co-deliberator, who surely made her feelings known in the jury room (did anyone say anything to her about her racism or idiocy then?).

So what else would they possibly say?

They are clearly not as stupid as B37. They're going to cloak their collusion with that imbecile behind law and reasonableness. But what choice do they have? They let a murderer walk the streets.
