Juror From RIAA Trial Speaks
Damon Tog notes a Wired blog posting featuring quotes from a juror who took part in the recent RIAA trial. Some excerpts: "She should have settled out of court for a few thousand dollars... Spoofing? We're thinking, "Oh my God, you got to be kidding."... She lied. There was no defense. Her defense sucked... I think she thought a jury from Duluth would be naive. We're not that stupid up here. I don't know what the f**k she was thinking, to tell you the truth."
Why? Because they convicted somebody based on the facts of the case? Sure, the law's brainless, but a jury's job is determine the facts of a case, not decide whether the law is fair.
Oops, here's comes somebody babbling about "the right to jury nullification". Doesn't exist, except in the overactive imaginations of people who also believe in the "civil flag".
Yeah, and I left a book on the bus. Should I be fined because some one might have made a copy of that book?
"I would have too."
Then you are a fool.
