To the Jury it goes
The prosecution and defense have both rested, the closing arguments completed, jury instructions read, and the case has gone to deliberation. A lot of bizarre things have occurred during this trial. But, from their "probable cause" affidavit to their closing argument, the fact that the prosecution never had a case is overwhelmingly obvious. With no substantive "case", it appears that the prosecution's goal all along has been a gratuitous verdict, gained by putting the jury under duress; I guess that the prosecution assumes that with a jury of 6 women, they can pull it off. We'll see.
This fiasco is going to be the source of debate for a long time.
If you carry a gun for self-defense, there are things that you must do to guard against being victimized by the kind of prosecutorial misconduct that we have seen here.
