Well, if there's an 11-1 mistrial, I'm going to call the prosecutor's office and tell them that there was someone who might be a juror that was posting online that they planned to deliberately undermine the legal process in violation of their oath as a juror.

Evidence of such could land you with criminal charges, and I don't feel bad about it.

I think we have a new mission folks.

You might want to look for more information before trusting some random infographic on the internet. That being said, the vast majority of police shootings are justified.

You'd be fine with nonwhites if there were no such things as the 13th and 14th Amendments though.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

The evidence must not support the narrative being peddled in this thread.

At least we can say there's enough evidence for an indictment (which, I will remind everyone, is the "more likely than not" standard).

More likely than not with no rebuttal evidence and no affirmative defense evidence.

Can't find the original graphic, but I did find this. And I think that all loss of human life is at least partially unjustified, frankly. I mean, if someone attacks a law enforcement official then it's the official's right to defend themself, but like, if a guy has his hands up and his knees on the pavement, you shouldn't execute the poor bastard. Even then, cops are supposed to be trained to de-escalate situations with nonlethal or less-lethal equipment and techniques. Guns don't need to be the go-to. You understand what I'm getting at?

I don't think it's likely, but it is very possible. i mean, i'm in OKC now, but my address is in that area. I always get tons of jury callups, but i usually get out of it. I would drive to tulsa to be a part of that trial.

I take the duty very seriously, and i would consider all the evidences fairly.

Your plan relies on several things: That you get called up, that you pull that specific trial, and that neither the prosecution nor the defence reject you out of hand.

Quite frankly the odds are against you.

Right.

Police officer shootings like all other justifications of use of force (self defense) is an affirmative defense so long as the prosecutor brings evidence that the officer shot the individual (unless he does a Ferguson and voluntarily provides additional evidence) the grand jury should indict.

You're probably right. I doubt i'll get rejected out of hand if i get a chance, i can only say that i've been called up many times and there's still a higher chance than anyone else on this board, probably.

I will consider all the evidences. Regardless of what i have said here or in the past or on any other forum, if selected for jury duty i will be fair and impartial. I have very seldom followed this case.

Honestly, if you are honest with the court, you're probably disqualified anyway.

Considering the news in this country, they'll be hard pressed to find jurors who haven't heard something about the case. especially IN oklahoma, where it's all over the local news.
