The author’s history and logic are broken.

Jury trials are so yesterday. Today we need lynch mobs for the Zimmerman’s and Wilson’s of the world.

Dunn was guilty. I worked at a urban high school and making a big deal about their loud rap music is a losing battle. There was a movie called The Blackboard Jungle that had a scene where music clashes against the generations.

Well, we know that the DoJ is broken. The EPA is broken, The Doe (both of ‘em) is broken, The BATFE is broken, The DHS is broken, The Dept. of State is broken, The Dept of Interior is broken, etc.

So, what is "JD"? I take it that it has nothing to do with education or wisdom.

Juris Doctor. For some reason, many African-Americans are much more likely to flaunt credentials of any kind, even “B.A.,” “B.S.,” “M.S.W.,” or “R.N.” than other ethnic groups. I have no idea why.

Funny how the author didn’t cite O J Simpson as an example of why the jury system is “broken.”

agreed 250% on all counts, George was innocent, the other I dont know enough about, however I think they are completely different?

The problem I see with the system as far as Zimmerman was concerned, the jury should have never got the case.

We are supposed to have safety`s built into the system to prevent miscarriages of justice.

Georges case should never have seen the inside of a courtroom...but absolutely should never have gone to the jury.

I would only add that the only problem with the jury system is this...jury`s are to often hearing cases that should never have come before them

Generally people use JD after their name if they went to Law School but were never able to pass the bar.

If he had passed the bar he would use “Attorney at Law” after his name.

There was nothing wrong with either trial, justice was served.

Not enough trials even GET to juries because of the stacked deck corrupt prosecutors + draconian mandatory minimums present. Almost everyone cops a plea. Even the innocent.

Juries are the only thing in our legal system that work. And that’s very inconvenient for prosecutors and judges.
