The problem is that most of the peasants STILL don't understand that Law Is For The Little People.
You'd think the George Zimmerman case would have been a giant cluebat.
That's why it's important that people who understand what the law is supposed to be about serve on juries.
I used to be one of those who avoided jury duty. Not any more. Now, I'm the justice system's worst nightmare as a juror. Not only will I serve, but I will judge not only the facts of the case, but also the law and the application of it.
I'll make sure my fellow jurors understand that's their responsibility, too. If we decide that the law or its application are wrong, it's our duty to acquit the accused.
The people who were robbing Greer's house and then beat him thought they just had to run away and they'd be safe to rob and beat another day. Greer made sure one of them won't have that chance.
If he were to be charged and brought to trial and if were on the jury, I would vote for acquittal.
