        The jury system is absurd. All cases should be tried before a panel of expert judges or professional jurists.

        Then the jurists and the systems get bought out. There's no simple solution like that to fix the juror system

        This is why intelligent people should not try to "get out" of jury duty. You're needed there.

        I had my work try to make me skip jury duty and then got mad when I said it was my civic duty. They tried to make me take leave.

        Bottom line is that these jurors couldn't see Mr. Crutcher as a victim worth protecting and saw this murdering cop as too nice to punish.

        In the same way that some people are too stupid to vote, there are people I would never trust on juries. speaking from trial experience.

        "A jury of ones peers" is apparently people who have no clue to understanding addiction, fear, or racism. How fortunate they are.

        The juror talked about the addiction aspect with compassion but I wonder what the racism factor wasn't brought up
