A "grand jury" is different than a jury. It's a group of people the DA gets together to see if charges should be filed because the DA is too big
of a pussy to handle whatever case it is.

A "grand jury" is different than a jury. It's a group of people the DA gets together to see if charges should be filed because the DA is too big of a pussy to handle whatever case it is.Not really - it has nothing to do with what the DA can handle - the prosecutor has to present the facts before a grand jury to show that there is enough evidence to bring a defendant to trial. The grand jury then either decides to "no bill" the defendant, which means that the case won't go to trial or charge the defendant, which means that it will to to trial. Trial juries are actually called petit juries. Now, it is up to the prosecutor as to whether or not the case is even brought before the grand jury. In this case, the prosecutor was trying to bring charges against the homeowner or the case wouldn't have even been presented. |

do Canadian lawyers still wear those silly wigs?
I don't think you could dispense any sort of real, respecatable justice wearing those silly wigs. |

His resemblance to John Wayne Gacy is promising.

Joe Horn, 61, shot the two men in November...It's not clear whether the neighbor whose home was burglarized asked Horn to watch over his housewtf It's been 7 months and it is "not clear" if the neighbor asked Horn to watch over his house? The hell is it not clear? Can't you just, oh, I don't know... ask the neighbor if he got McHorny to babysit his house!? partial super-secret court transcript: "did you ask Horn to watch your house for you while you were gone on vacation?" [the witness crosses his fingers behind his back in a clever ruse to confuse the legal system] "um, sure." COURT IS THUS ADJOURNED FOR THE DAY, AS "WALKER, TEXAS RANGER" IS SET TO COME ON [sighs of relief in the court] |

I'm aware of three men who were caught several times, finally charged, and the final court order was to leave the town and stay away. Where's the anal
rape with a spoon??

If the right to bear arms is protected, and the right to use deadly force to protect property is legal, what's the problem here?

The problem is that the bullets were in their backs.

How is that a problem? It doesn't make 'em any less dead.

It shows that there was no imminent danger of bodily harm. You don't get hurt from fleeing burglars.
