    Yes. Yes i do, and no, i'm not anywhere near as squeamish about it as you might think.

    Also, I don't live in your country, therefore i'm not subscribed to your archaic tracking system, I'm not married, i don't have any children or pets and I most likely earn more than you do, hippie.

    Information is information, you fucking luddite. Either realize the point of the argument, or get off the fucking internet.

    it's unfortunate the jurors in this case blindly followed the instruction to judge "on the law", and not on conscience

          Considering the fact that the majority of jurors are people not smart enough to get out of jury duty, I wouldn't hold my breath for an intelligent decision on the behalf of ANY jury.

    That is true. I was hit by a drunk driver and I had no medical insurance. My hospital bill was $82,000. This was 7 years ago, but my credit is still be affected because I was hit by a drunk driver. That is the beautiful world we live in without medical insurance in the US.
