If the Glove don’t Fit….

So I served on jury duty for the past couple of days and I’ve got to say it was a disheartening experience. I’ve lost alot of faith in the justice system after this.
The problem was with one of the jurors. They didn’t understand what their job was and how to do it. Without getting into too many specifics. The person was obviously guilty. All evidence proved she was guilty, there wasn’t even questions about the validity of the evidence. The only reason that this juror was voting Not-Guilty was because she didn’t witness the accident herself. That was her reasoning for the woman being not-guilty, she didn’t see it happen so she couldn’t be sure… She believed the woman was guilty, but couldn’t be “SURE” without having witnessed the accident herself and been there for evidence collection.
Soooo. Because she didn’t witness the event. The trial was a mistrial and palm beach county citizens have spend a shit load of money for nothing…
