[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]part of the problem is us, when we serve on juries. dc is famous for having the most acquittal-biased juries in the nation. there is academic research on this that you can find on google. maybe it's all the liberals, maybe it's a race thing. but it's well-documented. prosecutors know this so they know that a winnable case in texas is a loser in dc. so they only bring the cases with excellent evidence or the really heinous ones. they try to get pleas for everything else. [/quote] Well, even serving in a jury is a major accomplishment in a city where so many locals avoid that very basic civic duty. Look at the stats -- it's surreal. DC politics is more surreal than Trump's election, I swear.[/quote] I agree that too many avoid jury duty, but the duty is also very onerous in DC. Multiple levels of court, jurisdictions, grand juries etc. In Bethesda you get called what every 6 years? In DC yearly, easily. [/quote]
