I don't want this debate going on any longer because I kind of feel sorry for you. Let me just say that I am glad most people don't think like you. If we convicted people on "intuition" we would have a pretty sad court system. And I love your tv claim of giving you good information! LOL I guess I would make a good sheriff because I watch Andy Griffith.
Nope. Not worth a fight club thread, Rich.
Unbiased: I don't need you pity, or want it. Stick it where the sun don't shine. I hope it hurts, and is followed by rectal bleeding.
I didn't say we should convict on intuition, gut feelings, instinct, what have you. I said we should be able to USE them to an extent in situations like this? Why? So bullshit things like this don't happen. However,
this will maybe insure that it doesn't happen again.

PS, Unbiased: WHAT "TV claim" to give me good information? I've read books, and articles, looked up things on those two cases, used the internet, and seen things on tv about them. Those were just two high profile cases off the top of my head, so that comment I just quoted you on is basically irrelevant.
Hell, maybe I shouldn't be on Jury Duty. Maybe I should. It all would depend on how I felt about/answered the questions in the pre-jury interview(s), would it not? They have choice to select me or not. I'll guarentee you one thing though. I'd give my verdict based on the facts presented me,
and based on whether or not I believed the person did it per the facts presented. I.E. The instinct thing. Instinct/intuition told me before the case that it was bad, but seeing Casey up there in that courtroom, hearing the testimony, and also seeing Cindy probably comit purgery all increased my instinctual belief. Not to mention when they handed down a guilty on only 4 counts of something. That REALLY made my noggin itch.
Anyway, I started this thread, so I take full responsibility for stepping out unless there is something REALLY pressing I need to say again. Can't wait to see what happens Sunday.
Ta-ta.
