Jim, I have no idea why the jury sentenced as they did, I wasn't there. I'm also not sure there isn't couseling and rehabilitaion included in the addicted woman's prison sentence. What we read is a brief newspaper account of a trial.

Interesting use of your words "...they send her to prison and make her a murderer..." So they did it?

I'll be serving on a jury in two weeks. If I'm chosen to sit on a trial, I'll be able to consider all the evidence and argument presented to me by both sides and given instructions as to how a jury is legally obligated to reach a verdict in cases such as the one upon which I serve. If I'm released, then, from any duty to remain silent, I'll be happy to tell you why I voted the way I did for acquittal or conviction, and how the decision was arrived at for any possible sentencing. I will not, however, judge a jury.

In the O.J. case, I always thought if there was anything "stupid" it was neglecting to consider the leather gloves that had been soaked in blood then dried might be shrunken and stiff, so therefore difficult to put on one's hand. I watched that on tv as it happened. O.J. didn't look "stupid" he looked surprised that he couldn't get on those gloves...as if they were his gloves. The test produced a result, it was a test the prosecutors offered as proof and it failed. The failed result was then able to be used by the defense. Part of the marvelous system of justice that we adapted from the English.

You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash
