I wish that sometime I could simply "get on a jury". I would love to sit back and watch the dynamics of the "12 angry men". It wouldn't matter if it were a criminal trial or a civil suit. What an education that would be. I get challenged when called.
My point in all of this, there are two sides to this story. I have never had the pleasure of serving with or even meeting "Richard" on this board, but I love the way he can bring the opposite perspective into all of it. I will never be as good as Richard, but that is all I was trying to do here.
If the case goes against the soldier, I note that the case is in U.S. District Court and not in some county court. If the results aren't to your liking, I submit that there probably wasn't any sort of "politics" in the jury's decision, that they simply followed the law as presented by the judge, and justice was done.
I don't know how it will go and I am sorry for both sides.
