[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who actually wants their car back after it has been car jacked? [/quote]

[b]Can you imagine having your car stolen/jacked if you are working poor?[/b] Dealing with insurance, getting to work, rentals? It is such a blow to people who already live without a margin. [b]The whole stealing and jacking of cars needs to be addressed. [/b]I believe they dismantled the short lived task force though because it felt 'racist' given that the thieves are by and large POC. That may be rumor, but that is what was told to me--that it looked too much like they were targeting a 'population'.[/quote]

I was on a jury recently for an attempted carjacking that was tried as a robbery because the defendant snatched keys for to a car that wasn't on site, black on black violence. The victim was on a work break of an overnight shift, after turning his life around after being charged in a criminal case. (He said he wasn't as lucky as defendant because he was appointed a lawyer, insinuating that the defense attorney was not court appointed. We found out afterward that was, in fact, true.) Anyhow, about 1/2 of the jury vehemently complained about why this was even a case at all. It was honestly shocking and deeply upsetting. The jury's view of the victim, the neighborhood store which refused subpoenas for camera footage because it was the defendant's hangout, how ambulances refused to stop for the victim, how two young jury members refused to discuss the case saying nothing anyone said would make them convict. Afterward, I googled and the defendant is a serial carjacker.  [/quote]
