Re: unintended consequences: Davis recall leads to US internal passports

I have a pretty good excuse (As I duck behind a flame retardant barrier.. :) ) My brother-in-law and his wife are law-enforcement officers. Seems that implies that I may have some bias against defendants. Neither the prosecution or the defense want to deal with it. Most people I know who end up on juries end up in civil cases. They never get actually get to participate in the trial, they just have to show up for selection then visit or call the court house daily and are eventually told they're are excused because the parties usually settle out-of-court and have been using the threat of going to trial as a negotiating tactic. -- Neil Johnson http://www.njohnsn.com PGP key available on request.
