Is this Murder? Kelly Thomas Killed by Fullerton, CA Police Officers

[Pat/Ohio]

That's an excellent idea. I think most juror's are there for the right reasons but so many later say they didn't understand. Sometimes the answers they get are even more confusing & lawyers & Judges should realize that & try to answer in plain english, KWIM? So many have camera's in there too & it might help when the jury goes to deliberate if the Judge could then follow & answer any immediate questions, etc..maybe asking w/o camera's would help the jury as well. I realize they aren't shown but I imagine they still feel the pressure in a high profile case. I like the state's that allow the jury to submit questions after each witness too. I think that helps alot to ask right away & not have to go from notes later on. So many things are kept from the jury too..prejudice against the accused. I just don't get that, looks like it would be evidence to me. I guess I don't follow why we should worry that certain things would be "bad" for the person on trial. In minor cases, maybe it wouldn't matter so much but in a murder case...it sounds more like doing that protects the one on trial.
The day after the verdict, one of the cops asked for his job back. They're most likely going to give it to him too since the verdict was NG & they found no wrong doing by these cops. I'd sure hate to be beaten like that or see one of my kids treated that way. I'd bet money this isn't just a one-time thing either. I hate to say it, but I think there's a number of cops out there that push people around because they can. I just can't explain how a jury finds that acceptable.
