> So you say here on your jury questionnaire that a police officer once stole your car, ran over your cat, and crashed it into your living room, while singing a song of her own invention, You Are Stupid And Ugly And That’s Why I’m Doing This, Also, I Can Get Away With It Because I’m A Cop.
> Random people in Alameda County are also fully based and ACABpilled. I think probably a third of the people questioned were asked something like “you said in your jury questionnaire that ‘all cops are lying bastards and I hate them.’ Can you elaborate for us on what that means?”
> In an act of sheer writerphobia and systematic oppression of bloggers, you’re not allowed to remove your notes on a jury case from the courtroom... So every break, I rushed to my laptop—mind full of contraband knowledge—and scribbled down as much as I could remember.
I Was A Juror On A Murder Trial
Last January, I was on a jury for a murder trial: it was my job to determine if Bomani Hairston-Bassette murdered Charles Wright. You’re not supposed to sell your story for money for 90 days after the trial is over, but it’s been more than 90 days, so now I can tell you all about it. I’m going to first talk about the case, then about what it was like, then about how the experience affected my views about the justice system.
