Years ago a co-worker or mine was assigned to a jury on a murder case. Without going into details, he told me the worst thing that can happen to you is to find yourself in the hands of any jury.

OK, one detail, the accused had a lengthy history of mental illness. The police and the prosecutor tried to paint this a some sort of joke and sought the death penalty! After much arguing and the legal definition of mental illness defined, a life sentence was given.

My co-worker begged all of us to sit down with our families and have a talk about the legal system and it's flaws.
