JUSTICE SYSTEM AND THE PAID VOLUNTEER

JUSTICE SYSTEM AND THE PAID VOLUNTEER.

Crime, Law and the Jury System are part of everyday life as I had my first sinker and a cup of coffee fresh as usual, my thoughts were of my appointment with the Judge. A summons, an jury duty invitation came thru the mailbox, as you know nobody goes to court or to jail voluntarily so it was business as usual there was no incentive, no profit motive, but disruption in my daily life. The judge wants me to come over and help him and with eleven other citizens. I have a moral and religious dilemma due to my beliefs that I confess that I am not a quality jury material, and thus not judgemental. 

Can I invoke the law of being a conscientious objector? that would require a face-to-face meeting with the judge. Why does a judge need my help, he has all the decisions of the supreme court at his fingertips that have been documented, libraries are full of lawbooks, why me? does the judge not trust himself or his extensive expensive education. Does the judge wants to spread the blame when a wrong decision is made against the defendant, it has happened many a time they call it the miscarriage of justice. 

For example does an Md, Brain surgeon, Heart surgeon, or a doctor in an emergency room need my input or advice on how to do their jobs. How does anyone fortify the Judicial system and make the judge fully responsible for the decisions against the defendant while fully protecting his rights, without calling a layman, with hardly any comprehension of the immensity of the law?  It's like logic and lunacy are both dancing hand in hand on the courtroom floor. The prosecution lawyer and the defendant lawyers want to stack up the jury with incompetent people who will make life and death decisions.

I would suggest reading a book by Michele Alexander called

" The New Jim Crow, " take it to court, and read the articles about the Innocent Project.
