Professional juror would be the best job ever. Give me a living wage and I'll stay off the internet and other news sources. I'd be the least informed fucker on the planet.
One of those uncontacted tribes.
That's a great idea. Let's just ship him to North Sentinel Island and let them handle it.
They mustn’t hate him that much. I’d lie about it so I could rule against him.
Hard to find a jury of your peers when everyone on the planet thinks you're a fucking tool. Even his rich fuck friends hate him.
That's what happens when you're life goal is to make sure everyone in the world knows that you're a massive, rancid, suppurating hemorrhoid that needs to be excised from the planet. Ooo, let's convince him he could catch up to his car and drive it back!
I agree with you but mostly I'm here for the new word I just learned..."suppurating". Thanks!
The headline makes it seem like the lawyer's statement caused the dismissals. But they were just reflecting on how many dismissals they've had.
