Judges spot that a mile away. “Well, I know that the criminal justice system has a lot of checks and balances that tend to get rid of cases where the defendant is actually not guilty, so if we get to this point there’s probably a reason and then it just becomes whether the prosecution can prove that the guy did it. <Insert pause, followed by sigh>. But I understand my oath and would try to keep an open mind.” Defense counsel: I think we can excuse this juror. [/QUOTE]
