Oh that is just weird. My understanding is most courts will at least give you the definition of the law in your jury instructions. This is just strange. But every court is very, very different, a lot of times in stupid ways. yeah, it was odd. it felt like everything was more oriented around granting the appearance of legitimacy rather than actual legitimacy, to what was ultimately an arbitrary decision by a bunch of random unqualified humans in a room. made me feel like the ultimate purpose of the justice system was simply to dissuade vigilante justice, as well as protect juries, lawyers and judges from revenge violence redrocket posted... This is the point where you just default to not guilty and call it a day I guess. some people for sure had that attitude. others had the exact opposite and felt very strongly about it. we deliberated for a day and a half, and only came to a final decision because 3 people on the minority didn't want to have to come back on monday and ultimately browbeat the final 2 the fact that it was a self defense murder trial made it more interesting, i guess. i do think we ultimately came to a correct decision via the letter of the law in the end --- You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured. <cite>banananor posted [p:964489313] in Johnny Dep...
