Hung, nah, but certainly hanged.

They should hang the lawyers instead.

It’s usually one or two nut-jobs that hang a jury. Hang them.

Jury nullification.

I’ve heard jurors say they only reason they voted guilty was to get done faster, cause they hated being there…and besides if they were innocent the police never would have arrested them.

Its sad when people don’t understand the difference between guilty of a crime and merely being suspected of it and that being suspected means you obviously did it.

@JP Steve@pschearer“I remember “Twelve Angry Men.” It’s the holdouts that are the heroes!”.Not bad for a work of fiction..For reality, some juror confuses “reasonable doubt” with “shadow of a doubt” and hangs a jury, prosecution gives up, former defendant goes out and kills again and again.

(By the way, we wrote the prohibition against placement in double jeopardy and freedom of a jury into the Constitution because some British colonial judges were known to retry the case even when the jury voted not guilty and to tie up a jury until it ruled as he intended.)

How about a nice game of hangman…

Must all be men. And where are the other four? Guess size limitations happened.

Woman at jury selection“First off, I do not believe in the death penalty!”Judge: “That shouldn’t apply here – it merely involves a woman seeking a divorce. It seems he was saving up to buy her a mink coat, but before he could make the final payment, he lost the money in a poker game.”“Well, I can handle that.-—- and by the way, I’ve changed my mind on the death penalty!”

Ah, man! If the artwork wasn’t bad enough, now the puns!

Ha ha ha!!!!

About as far as I would trust a jury.

Brutal, but should avoid split verdicts.

Jury nullification should be taught in every grade in school from K-12.

Unpleasant outcome for everyone!

Wow, never thought they used this kind of joke. I know it’s about medieval times, but never thought it would reach this. I’m kinda new to the strip. Trials back then were so unfair.

this is one of the best since the new artist took over.

…Or it could be 12 men with big members.
