Good! One less case of spending $50K/year to keep someone in prison. My question is, why didn't the 12 members of the jury do something besides bleat like the frightened sheep they seem to be?

My vote is GOOD! Maybe we should have an gun (empty) close to all convicted felons!

Its only fair to give each juror a handgun of their choice during the trial.

"It wasn't pandemonium"
- Judge Jacqueline Schellinger The defendant leaps into the jury box, tries to smash through a window, shoots one deputy in the leg with his own pistol, bites another and is finally stopped when a detective, who I think was only there as a witness, shoots him dead in the courtroom in front of the jurors. What do you think she would consider pandemonium? Maybe a velociraptor attack? |

I think it's good. This has been in the news some around here (Madison, WI).
In his short life, Ball had fathered six children, family members said, and had been charged with a dozen felonies and several misdemeanors. They found Ball guilty of felony murder and two counts of armed robbery in the death of Amon Rogers, a 27-year-old Oregon man who was visiting Milwaukee in December and was shot in the back for his Rolex watch. There is no telling what this animal would have done had he gotten loose. |

Normally, in Milwaukee Circuit Court, defendants wear stun belts. If they make a move too suddenly, they get a shock (remote controlled) that brings them to their knees...completely incapacitated.
What troubles me most about this case, is an informant from the jail told authorities of the (late) defendant's plan to do something like this. The officer who shot and killed him, had previously testified aginst him in court. Poetic justice or bitter irony...I can't decide. |

Funny thing is, in some courtrooms police officers appearing as witnesses aren't allowed to be armed. I know they [i]are[/i] armed whenever testifying in Dane County, as they apparently are in Milwaukee County.
I say all LEO's should be armed at the very least. I have to think about participants. Hmmm. But, if you've never been inside a courtroom and witnessed the SHTF like this, I tell you, it will leave an impression. I've only been around scuffles, compared to this. End result is usually a mob of deputies piling on the BG. This must've been something. I'm glad that none of the good guys (LEO's, attys, jurors, etc.) got hurt any worse than they did. |

courtroom justice.
how ironic..........and unusual. seems that even though justice is blind, the detective's aim made up for it. |
