Could you be charged with murder?

[Guest guest]

Dudley,

That's why we have changes of venue and trial continuances.

No trial ought to be conducted about this incident until the dust has settled

and folks have forgotten about it.

There is some merit to the proposition that the average length of time from

case filing to trial is around 3-5 years.

In the meantime, the parties develop the facts through the discovery

techniques such as requests for admissions, written interrogatories, and

depositions.

When the case finally comes to trial, if it hasn't been settled, the facts

have been developed and are presented in a calm and unemotional atmosphere.

Trials like OJ and are by far the minority. Just think,

while those cases were going on, there were hundreds of other cases being

decided

by rational juries all over the country.

Our system is still the best. We have multiply redundant systems to insure

that justice will prevail. And whether or not we like to admit it, lawyers

basically run that system. Overall, from the beginning of our country to the

present, they have done a good job of it. All will not be satisfied, but the

price of being a contrarian in America is not being tortured or shot and

shoved into a mass grave.

I remember being pulled over in Kindelton County, TX, for speeding

90 in a 65 (I was going 75 in a 65), written a speeding ticket, and

then asked if I wanted to take care of it by cash, check, or credit

card right there. He said my other option was to follow him to his

cousins, the JP, office for arraignment and to enter a guilty plea,

and if I couldn't pay the ticket in full then I would be held until

I could raise the money. I promptly handed him my Visa card, and he

puplled out one of old impression machines and suction cupped it to

his hood, made an impressiom of my card, filled im the amount, and

had me sign it. The transaction showed up on my next bill with the

JP's personal name on it, but the ticket never showed up on my

record. I wasn't going to bitch, bit I still to this day avoid

Kindleton County at all cost.

It's an scary feeling. I know some cities and parishes in the deep

deep south that still do things that way. It's yes sir, no sir,

have a nice day sir,...............Drive like a choir boy until you

are out of their county, then floor it.............

The Kendelton Cops were notorious though. Known all over. Worse than

Selma when Selma was the big speed trap years back.

[Guest guest]

I recently noticed Eustace PD is back up and running. They were shut down back

in the 90's for the same tactics. I'm not sure how long they've been back in

business though.....
