Accused double-murderer's attorney looks for jurors who won't judge man based on face tattoos

[gwalchmai]

So how is judging a suspect by the statements he has tattooed on his face different from judging him by statements he makes on social media?

I have over 70 tats myself.

i'll sit on his jury, and I promise he will get exactly what he deserves.

It's simply a defense excuse.  Now he set the conditions, this will undoubtedly be his reason for an appeal.  The attorney knows he will be judged guilty by the evidence.  This is a ploy to potentially get a reduced sentence.

It does however, reflect his attitude towards society.

The supposition of our justice system is that we are judged by our actions and not by our appearance.

It gets problematic when you appearance exemplifies your acts.

Didn’t I see him in a Lady Gaga video

I wonder what his girlfriend looks like.

I remember when Sandra Bullock married Jesse James. Girl next door image and all.

I thought...”hmmm, maybe a little freaky freak going on with the Bionic Girl. I wonder if she has any tats that don’t show”

I may be able to overlook the tats.  But if his pupils glow red in the courtroom, that would sway me.

 

That said, if he showed up at my door; I would only answer it with my pistol drawn and ready.

Double tap.

I thought the purpose of getting a tattoo was so that people would immediately form an opinion about you without needing to get to know you first.

Or. Why is it okay to jump to a conclusion about a nun but not about a guy with a face full of ink? They both voluntarily decided to make a strong first impression.

i`m a fair and impartial Juror,i have Tattoos and have friends with Facial Tats.

 

i agree to overlook the Tattoos on his face if they agree to my sentence given.

[DrB]

I would not like to be on the Jury, but evidence is evidence and I would be cool with just the facts not the face.

He was just turning his life around. Except that he couldn't get a job. Anywhere.

For the same reason that you wouldn't hire Skeletor as a Customer Service Rep.

[Walt Longmire]

What the sleezeball attorney really wants is jurors that 'won't judge a man'

[PATCHMAN]

Is it really feasible to find 12 blind jurors?

Then it would be the peak of absurdity when the jury is asked, " "How do you find the defendant?".

You mean like Comcast!

I once called to sign up to a plan to run as soon as my existing one was done.

The CS argued with me, that I couldn't cancel a plan without penalties.  The continued this argument with me, while I was trying to explain that I simply wanted to sign up a new plan so when one expired, the other won would run concurrently. 

I don't know if they couldn't understand English, or if they were really that dense.  I asked for and got a supervisor, and when he came on the line, the CS rep told him I was trying to cancel my service. 

No one seemed to be able to listen to me.  I couldn't make them understand that I wanted more service, not a cancellation.They got so pissed the supervisor hung up on me.

I filed a complaint that the CS wasn't letting me commit to a business contract with them.

I would have preferred to speak to Skeletor.

Good luck with that, most of society will have a bias like that.  I have heard that tune before, putting detainers on potential removals at PNM.  I have heard this song and dance before.  One guy was crying that he was set up for more time by the prosecutor for more time.  I pointed out his neck tattoo might have something to do with it,  On his neck it said, "**** the D.A."
