thetragichippy Posted May 19, 2014 Report Posted May 19, 2014 I cannot post link due to company computer restrictions, but the Examiner just reported that Jessie rejected offer by Jefferson County prosecutors of one year probation and a $1000.00 fine for preventing the reporter from entering the BISD meeting. Jury selection will begin today. I'm sure the BISD admins are excited that this is going to a public trail versus just going away. I may have to take a vacation day and go to one of the trials.......

She is looking for sympathy and/or jury nullification. There is a chance that she might get it. All she wants at a minimum is a hung jury or one not guilty vote and then the DA might drop any retrial as not being worth it. Quote
mat Posted May 19, 2014 Report Posted May 19, 2014 Not a bad choice considering BISD will probably pick up her legal bills. :) Quote

tvc184 Posted May 19, 2014 Report Posted May 19, 2014 And the people have spoken. Let her peers help determine her fate. Her peers are not the issue if they follow the law however I think that some potential jurors may follow political affiliation rather than the law. Quote

Chester86 Posted May 19, 2014 Report Posted May 19, 2014 In Jefferson County, with that jury, she is almost assured a not-guilty verdict. Quote

thetragichippy Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Posted May 19, 2014 In Jefferson County, with that jury, she is almost assured a not-guilty verdict. Why? 3 blacks, 3 whites......seems pretty even to me....... Now if 3 whites vote guilty and 3 blacks vote not guilty, then there might be a debate for racism...... I thought what was more significant than color was gender....If I was representing Jessie, I would of figured out a way to get one woman on that jury......... Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote

Back to normal BISD programming. Obviously not a Fan of the President. I think you may want to give him a Call Lol I think the Jury was set in this fashion for a reason. It will be a wash. Racism is Alive & well, just read the posts. PNG, do you think if the jury were All White & the Defendant was White, would she get Convicted?? Same question if All were Black would she get Convicted?? I say No to both because we ignore facts in the Racist South(East Texas) When will All Overcome?? Amphibious Rodent 1 Quote

Cam, I was on a jury a couple months back and the jury was made up of 7 whites, 2 hisp and 3 blacks. The defendant was black and we came to a unanomous not guilty. No racism!! And if you think real hard you'll know what trial it was because it was a high profile case. Quote

Chester86 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Posted May 20, 2014 why is that? Just call it professional observatiin. Quote
mat Posted May 20, 2014 Report Posted May 20, 2014 I hate to see this much time and resources going into a silly trial. I agree she will probably get off. Quote
Bigdog Posted May 20, 2014 Report Posted May 20, 2014 Jury selected 3 black males 3 white males Question- since this is a six person jury, does the vote have to be unanimous to convict ? Quote
