(12,275 posts)One attempted rape and other don't remember exact charges but something that happened at music festival.
First one I felt sorry for the guy zero proof he did anything and girl even testified he didn't touch her so why file? Mexican guy in rural white area, had custody of his teen because ex had drug problems, no money for bail so lost job, house he was renting and custody of kid as he was in jail for many months. I was angry at the system. Few conservative women on jury wanted to find him guilty without a shred of evidence that he did anything. What happened was he went to girlfriends house late after work before she got there, she told him daughter 18 not home so he goes in the dark lays down on bed in living room and jumps up when daughter is there and went to bedroom. Her button was undone when she woke up so she thought he did it, could have come undone just by rolling over. Luckily teacher was foreman and led us to right result not gulity.
Next one I don't remember as well but we said guilty on one charge not on other.
I find it interesting and like beng on jury.
