Thank goodness:flip:
yes
when I did martial arts..sensai told us .. now day speople have weapons, guns...no martial artist is taking on a person who knows how to use a gun.
so he told us just give them what they want, or if you are in a car, don\'t get out.
What i would have done? floored the car with all 260 HP of it\'s V6 and see what happens.
Sorry to hear that; haven\'t heard of a situation like that here...not sure what would happen but cops/justice system is a joke.
I say bring on the Chinese system here!!!

I think if you watch a lot of jury trials you will not find this to be true. You\'re basically saying the basis of our civil legal system is a failure.
I think there is a perception that juries get it wrong alot. Of course, they are the folks that have seen ALL the evidence....But on face value, take that McDonalds Coffee case....it sounds ludicrous that somebody would get money for burning themselves on hot coffee....until you hear ALL the evidence, like the jury did....then you start to understand it a bit more.
EDIT...and congrats on the Verdict MPJ...regardless of the sentancing, there has to be some justice in that!

It was judge only. Actually got the judge the wifie wanted, at least the \'type\' (old, white, male).
I really don\'t have all that much to \'put behind me\' as I\'m a bit of a \'live for the moment\' type and don\'t dwell much. The wifie on the other hand was affected a lot and is still recovering, emotionally she\'s more the victim than I am and thats what makes it hardest on me (weird I suppose). I had always made her feel \'safe\' (I\'m the big, tough, protector type) and they have taken part of that away, of course it\'s a bit unrealistic to preceive anyone as invulnerable but her dad ditched out when she was a kid so never had a male figure like that so (in a non-sicko way) I guess I sorta fill that roll.
Luckily my kids are two young to remember, I\'m a big beliver that children should see their dad as the toughest guy in the world. The only person in the world I was ever afraid of died 5 years ago (my dad), even when he was sick and bedridden I wouldn\'t have wanted to go against him... It\'s a perception thing rather than a reality thing.

Well done on the outcome. I hope your wife\'s ok in time, no doubt she will be. Still sorry to hear about that part.
My regards to all

I know from experience. Our win rate at Magistartes\' Court is near 96% last time I saw the stats. It is closer to 50 % in front of the jury. Having known several people involved in juries (both as jurors and a tipstaff in the Supreme Court) the view hasn\'t changed. I know I would take my chances in front of a jury rather than front a Magistrate any day.
Congrats. Sorry to hear that your wife is taking it so hard, but I can definately see where she\'s coming from. My hubby spent the first 8 years we were married as Military Police in the Army, and he got put into some pretty rough places. I saw him come home with all kinds of interesting injuries. Once he even got his a** handed to him. He\'s a pretty big guy too, and I had to come to terms not only with the fact that he\'s not indestructable, but that he\'s regularly in a position to be hurt or killed. It was a hard thing to learn to accept. My heart goes out to her.
