  • I sat on a jury for a murder trial a few years ago. It’s incredible how sloppy it all felt.

    Real life is absolutely not Law & Order where the top cops and prosecutors have a perfect case of evidence and then the killer confesses.

    Two things that stuck out, witnesses in the car, all gave basically the same account, but not one gave the same drugs they picked up at the time they stopped for drugs.

    The defense couldn’t quite decide which direction the car was facing in relation to the other vehicle (it was a drive by)

    Also they had a video from a gas station they stopped at. And it was like… I guess that is a person, it’s not obvious if it’s anyone involved in this case." Because it’s a cheap gas station camera on a roof, not some perfect HD zoom zoom enhance image.
