I couldn’t disagree more with that. That’s the kind of thinking that results in the perpetuation of all kinds of racist and bigoted laws that strip people of their personal freedoms.
There are still laws against sodomy in many states. Those laws are backwards and antiquated, but they are still laws. I would expect every DA in the country to throw out a sodomy case involving two or more consenting adults not only because it’s a stupid law but because spending tax-payer money on such a case does nothing to protect the public good.
Is that a paint job, or did he just have his car dipped in a vat of Sunny Delight?
*A statistically irrelevant number of people…
They’re the worst.
When I served on a jury, the judge had us leave the courtroom multiple times. Once the trial was over, the judge told us what was being discussed when we left the room, and the reason the information had been excluded from testimony during the trial.
Had the DA tried to introduce this information while the jury was in the room it probably would have made it more difficult for us to come to the same verdict. I imagine that if the DA tried to do this often enough, it could lead to a mistrial and possible disciplinary action.
