The jury might not buy it, though, and if they don’t the Feds will have him up vor violating Trayvon’s civil rights for which their jury will render the proper verdict and the judge will hand down the maximum sentence lamenting that he can not give him more for such a heinous crime as self defense against a Protected Minority Person.

You missed ‘elementery.’

I didn't want to go too over the top in the interest of plausible deniability.

I will confess that the incorrect use of the apostrophe in "its" is my Achilles' heel. That trips me frequently and I never notice it during composition. When I press the "Post" button, well there it is. Big as life like the thing on Jim Traficant's head.

You reckon that was a joke? Surely no one would jump on someone for grammar and blow it that badly. What do they say? Guilt dog barks first.

Actually it is either. The positive means that you don’t care much but you care less about other things. The negative says that you cannot care at all about it.

It would appeer that a proper jury would be one composed of various grads of mulatto/mestizo.

Grammar? It's pretty much Greek to me.

I had better slink away from this thread before the mods play Thanatos on me.

A might bit careless there. Which phrase to use depends on what you mean. The problem is that people use them interchangeably, when they are two totally different concepts.

Here's a real grammar brain twister. ROUTE . Pronounced two different ways for no particular reason, but always spelled the same.

The US Constitution says "impartial jury." Some states say "jury of peers." The original phrase came from Great Britain where "peers" meant noblemen (dukes, marquis, barons, etc) presumed to be honorable and fair. The original function of the "jury" in old England was for community leaders of good character to serve in effect as fact finders and not just as a bank of auditors of the facts.

A remnant of this function exists in the concept of "jury nullification," whereby the jury can decide not only on the facts but on the law as well. This reflects ancient practice.

I suspect he was having a joke. Nobody could misspell that many words and molest that many homonyms in one comment by accident.

I guess at the time they didn’t use the JOHP phrase in FL. Don’t know if they changed that or not. I seem to remember something about the old English law and the whole nobleman thing. Like they were so righteous. LOL!

One of the jurors is partially hispanic, so Zimmerman has a jury of his peers, plus it is politically correct by having the one juror that reflects part of his ethnicity. How the Trayyvon Martin cheerleaders can say anything at all about this chosen jury regarding there being no blacks on it, is beyond me. Trayyvon is not the one being tried, George Zimmerman is. But that won’t stop them from their irrational squawking.
