Serving on a couple of juries in Louisiana made me realize how fricked up our CJ system really is.

Especially in Lousiana, which does not require unanimity for a criminal conviction. In Johnson v. Louisiana, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a Louisiana state court conviction where the verdict was 9-3 in favor of conviction. Are we going to allow someone to be killed where 25% of the jury thought he or she was innocent? I wish everyone in this country spent a week interning with the Public Defender's Office. The inequities in our judicial system would be much more clear to anyone who thinks that innocent men aren't railroaded.
