I'm trying to come up with my request to be excused from jury duty. I have 238 characters to type in why I'd like to be excused but I need help with what to say.
I'd like to make sure that:
1. They are aware that I've always wanted to serve on a jury and have always believed it to be a great and fair procedure.
2. They understand that after Caylee's case that I have zero faith in our system and that I want no part of any of it because this is proof beyond ALL doubt that our system does not work properly and since the person guilty of murdering her own baby girl walks free, this also means that there are innocent people who have been wrongly convicted.
Can anyone please help me to get those points across in a professional manner with the few characters that I am allowed?
I'm not sure if I should post this as a new thread in a different part of the forum instead of here, any advise?
Thank you WS'ers for any help you can give me.
I think if you don't serve that shows that you don't have confidence in yourself, that you couldn't serve and follow the evidence of whatever sort of case you would be sitting on. I believe that you can. Your voice matters.
You need to understand that the process in place isn't just about 12 people sitting on the jury, it's also about everyone involved, starting with the police detectives, investigators, right down to the procecuters. I know (most) everyone is dissappointed in the "Not Guilty" verdit but the jurors didn't say innocent. I believe the charges were wrong, in that the procecution decided to over charge, with what evidence they had. I believe the system worked because even though must of us think she was guilty, the procecution had in their mind what they thought happened but couldn't prove it. Leads me to believe that nobody knows exactly what happend. The procecution should have gone for involuntary manslaughter. IMOO.
