At the time of the North Hollywood Bank Shootout at Bank of America, I was on a home invasion double execution murder trial about 1/2 mile away. A fascinating trail. We had one of the guys dead to rights (separate trails). Let me tell you there are a lot of really stupid people on juries. We barely managed to get LWOPOP. We had DNA, foot prints, an audio confession in the holding cell where he didn't know he was being recorded. Fingerprints on the duct tape that went around the victims mouths, and yet some jurors were not going to go the death penalty no matter what. They would say stupid stuff like "Oh, he was the Captain of the Compton Basketball team" So what, he and a buddy did a home invasion and murdered two parents (duct tape and plastic bags over their heads and shot them when they flopped around too much) for what they thought they had in a safe. If I'm ever charged with a crime, I'll go for a jury trial; there are a lot of stupid people accepted on to juries.
