re: #121 LGoPs

That doesn’t make any sense. the vast majority of the jury was for $25 Million and since the defense lawyer wasn’t cogent enough they went for a buck?
Huh?

Yes it does. I was on a jury of eight deciding on a 16 year old male anal rape of a 14 year old male, in the county detention.

It was evident that the boy did it, but the state screwed up the paperwork and the investigation so big time (didn’t even spell the kids name right) that we had to let him go.

It was 7 to convict until I pointed out that the state screwed up and legal protocol was not followed. The 7 changed their mind.

Same thing happened here.

And I have heard the audio from the courtroom for the last month. Lane did not take his time and instruct the jury on the money.

I’m just relating fact, not opinion.
