A couple weeks back I had dinner with some friends, who brought along a couple people I had never met before. During this dinner, I made a joke that referenced amputees, and this girl looked at me and said “How dare you, my brother was born without arms or legs.” Afterwards, one of my friends was like “how could you make that joke?” and I was like “First of all, I had no idea, and secondly, technically, her brother was BORN without arms and legs, thus they were never amputated. Meaning he was never an amputee.” I thought that was a valid point, and although my friend thought it made me more of an asshole that I even brought that up, she too, recognized I had made a valid point. My point is that some things aren’t black and white, while others are. For instance, whether or not you have a driver’s license on you is black and white. People.com reports:
A jury was split 10-2 on Monday on whether Britney Spears was guilty of driving without a license.
The judge sent the panel back to deliberate a few minutes more. It wasn’t known whether jurors were leaning toward guilt or innocence, but a unanimous guilty vote was needed for conviction.
How do you ten people think she didn’t have a license, and two people think she did. I wonder if her defense attorney approached the jury box and was like “in my hand, i have a picture of britney with her license, in her car, that night.” And the judge was like “Can we see it?” and the attorney was like “mmmm, no. But i have it.” Then two of the jurors began scribbling furiously on there note pad.
There’s no way there was a 10-2 decision unless there were a few shenanigans. For instance, if suddenly on the day of deliberation two jurors got “sick” and two mysterious jurors were chosen to fill in…

They should just remove the whole “by a jury of your peers” and replace it with “tell a five year old kid what happened and let him decide.”
That’s the worst photoshop job ever, there’s no way a black man would ever be picked for a jury.

OMFG, HolyTaco.com and Pratik, you took the words right out of my…blog? I said the same thing! I have always thought that I would NEVER want to be judged by a jury of my peers. Sorry, but most of them are so stupid. I don’t see how any of these jurors thought that she was not guilty. But, I gave them the benefit of the doubt and just blamed it on them being star-struck, as if that’s better than being an outright moron.
