….”now that we’ve got the 40, you can eliminate the scary ones right”?… “I mean the ones that just wanted me Dead or alive”….. Right? …… Right?
In a trial, all the witnesses swear to tell the truth. Then a jury is seated for the sole purpose of attempting to determine who’s telling the truth…..
….but wait!
…….there’s a fly in the ointment!
…”well, I’ve been meaning to talk to you about that”…. “you see”….
This laborious jury selection process is designed to (1) ferret out those who are lying already; (2) ferret out those who don’t like the defense (3) ferret out those who don’t like the prosecution and, in this case, choose those who (4) are most willing to believe the distortions the prosecution intends to present!!
It’s been deeply illustrated already that officers of the court involved in this case, on both sides, are willing to lie when they feel it’s convenient, or will assist their position, or is urgently necessary.
…”um, well, er… it would be better for me if we kept this an all black jury, ok”…. “If we don’t keep them all on the jury they’re going to call us racists”….. “And … well, I just can’t see myself challenging any of them in the next part”… “but not to worry”…
The entire process is shot through with lies and liars.
The public circus is designed for them to do over-compensating role play to prove how careful and honest everybody is.
…. “there’s a pretty good chance the District Court of Appeals might help after they take you”….. “so moving forward, that should be where we focus, ok”? “This part will be for me, and then after a few months the next part can be for you”…. “OK, well, I gotta run to the microphones, see you tomorrow”.
Crazy-making is what it is.
Illusions wrapped within lies.
…”don’t look, but check it out,… check it out, right…. he’s tellin’ im right na”…
“I wonder what they’re all snickering about”?
