Source: Dead Man Talking(With thanks to VOS)I have had a lot of people ask me about this new prisoner who was sentenced to Death recently. I don't talk about other prisoners by name, so I won't name any names, but I am sure most of you know who I am talking about. His trial was on the news every night and there were thousands of reporters from all over the world who were camped out at the courthouse during his trial.The question I had been asked the most is, will he have problems here. I don't see that he would have any problems.The guy was convicted of a horrible thing, but with all the public attention on his trial, I don't see how he could get a fair trial. I know there are many of you who will say of course I will say he is innocent. I don't know if he is innocent or not. It isn't any of my business and I don't really care. But there are others in prison (not just on Death Row) who have been convicted of worse and they didn't get the Death Penalty.---Getting back to my comments about how the Media needs to be govern, like the Media in the United Kingdom is, regarding trials and prisoners. After the trial of the unnamed Defendant (who I mentioned earlier) the media were interviewing the jurors. From the comments they made, you would have thought they were part of the Prosecution, rather then what they are supposed to be, fair and impartial Jurors. After the trial, I would see some of the Jurors in particular (one with this badly dyed red hair job, and some innocuous looking guy) who seemed to seek out the Media to talk to them. Anytime there was anything newsworthy regarding the trial, these 2 Jurors in particular would be right there trying to be interviewed by the Media. Maybe their own lives are very empty and they got caught up in the publicity of this trial and their identity became that of professional Jurors. Or at least professional Jurors in this particular case. They seemed to be milking this moment in the spotlight for all it was worth.Somehow I doubt if suddenly, when this trial was over with, these Jurors then became aware of the Media and all the publicity involved with this case they were sitting on. I have no doubts the publicity and Media attention was prominent in these Jurors minds all through the trial and a trial is not supposed to be like that. I don't know when trials have become public entertainment. Maybe it started with the OJ trial, but it seems the Media moves from one trial to the next to provide entertainment to the public. Maybe being on Death Row I am out of touch with trends, but it just seems to be wrong to me and not what the Justice System in America is supposed to be about.-I don't know what this is about...but I do know of a redheaded juror:VOS quote of the day: Find any source, anywhere, for the assumption that a human body, accessible to fish and crabs, can last more than 30 days in the sea.
