I am rather surprised that people who care enough about the Bible to consider it on jury duty need to refer to the actual text. One would think that they have internalized the wizdom they care for. -- And what are we doing when the two most powerful nations on earth -- America and Israel -- stomp on the elementary rights of human beings? -- letter to the editor from W.

Act on your own frigging convictions and leave others to act on theirs. On the other hand, as my friend who served a couple times puts it, "the jurors I served with were definitely not my peers, and I will endeavor to keep as far away from them as possible". -- And what are we doing when the two most powerful nations on earth -- America and Israel -- stomp on the elementary rights of human beings? -- letter to the editor from W.

Post #201,071 by jake123 3/29/05 11:18:12 AM Reply	One interesting practice I've read about is the practice of opening the bible to a random passage and looking for its relevance to the situation at hand. This was very common a couple of centuries ago, and still goes on today. If they were doing that, then the verdict should be voided. Of course, whether that's the case can't really be known. --\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n* Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \n Kingston Ontario Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\n-------------------------------------------------------------------
Post #201,075 by Arkadiy 3/29/05 11:32:58 AM Reply	Another practice I heard about is the practice of wild speculation without facts in hand. In a courtroom, that's prone to render the verdict null and void :) -- And what are we doing when the two most powerful nations on earth -- America and Israel -- stomp on the elementary rights of human beings? -- letter to the editor from W.
