I was summoned and picked a couple of weeks ago. I was quite annoyed at the case. A guy was pulled over for speeding, eventually arrested for OVI for being high, but the officer didn't even send him to jail. A couple of months later, the officer was involved in a serious OVI collision (unrelated), and because he was in the hospital (my hospital it turns out) he couldn't testify in that guy's case so the charges were dismissed.

So what does this idiot do? Sues the officer for unlawful detainment. And then represents himself. That was the case I sat on. It went exactly how you probably would imagine it would with a 50 something year old pothead defending himself.

The officer had suffered a TBI from that accident and he was still recovering during this case. The accident happened four years ago.

I thought you were gonna say the guy he let go hit him. A sad story. Not gonna tell you to just convict, but from what you said, I hope he's found guilty.
