ASA pilot arrested

Good Idea

 

[BOX OFFICE]

Guilty until proven innocent, and if that there persecutor brought the charges there ain't no way he's innocent!

Unfortunately, that's how it works down here. The movie My Cousin Vinny wasn't that far off. FRY THE BASTARD!!!

I'll settle for jurists who don't automatically assume guilt just because a persecutor decided to bring charges...

Even been on a jury in GA? Unfortunately, many people actually think like him. "If they investigated and brought charges, he MUST be guilty, because innocent people don't get arrested"! FRY THE BASTARD!!!

You are missing the larger point. Somehow, this does not surprise me...

You would'nt need to "burn any challenges", whatever that means. During jury selection, objections to a particular juror by either side routinely result in the exclusion of that juror.. Especially in murder cases.

No way! Seriously?

I assumed that someone with such an intimate knowledge of the criminal judicial system would likely be familiar with the concept of "peremptory challenges" but then again you know what happens when you assume...

Here's your sign... And a link.

Never heard of it. Thanks for the reference. I guess you would need to burn one; just like your friend who allegedly burned that man to death while he slept...

DA's don't really pursue cases the office can't win. They have to demonstrate a high conviction rate. Most are SO overloaded they don't have time to screw with any cases where there won't be a plea bargain, or the outcome is questionable.

Innocent until proven guilty.

But then again, my expertise IS in thoracic surgery.

What was that phrase you used? Oh yeah, "you are a clueless dolt..."

That's really the point. All kidding aside, if I were on the jury, I would listen to the evidence to determine a verdict. My point is that probability is not on the defendant's side. Stating this fact does not mean he is declared guilty.
