Added for You - Arizona Justice -The Case of the Unloaded B-B Gun
Australian Aboriginal art offers excellent opportunities for financially rewarding investments. Like all investment decisions, however, successful investment in Aboriginal art demands that the investor be well informed, has access to good advice, and takes a suitably long term view. The added bonus of investing in Aboriginal art rather than property or shares is that the investor can enjoy the aesthetic beauty of the art work while secure in the
No emotion was registered by anyone in the court, no smile no frown.
Only one of the jurors who signed the verdict was willing to stay and answer questions. She was the caring married woman and she gave a good summary to the lawyers and litigants. I stayed also and told my point of view.
This was the second jury I served on. The first one was an armed robbery case. The verdict was guilty, and I concurred, but the process was hurried and careless. I had to get them to go over the evidence again so we cou
Google's Adsense program and other contextual advertising program's have had an unprecedented impact on the Internet. Now, virtually anyone can become a successful self-publisher.The basic components of a profitable Adsense experience are easy to isolate. You need a website. You need content on that website. You need to display ads. You also need traffic likely to click those ads.It's deceptively simple. That's because, altho
The case: Plaintiff sues Defendant for negligence in that her 11 year old son shot neighbor plaintiff's 10 year old daughter with a BB gun. The BB lodged in the girl's neck. This happened three years ago and the decision was made not to remove the BB, that leaving it there would be harmless.
The Jury: 8 people; three men five women.
Men:
Me-72 years old, former school teacher, liberal democrat.
Laughing fireman, age about 25-makes a joke about everything, always laughing.
Ex-military, reading a Christian bestseller for his church group, age 70's-pompous and smirking, self-righteous, wants to bring back corporal punishment.
Women:
Artist, in her 20's, bright, gender not clear, tattoos burned off arms. Conservative, punitive.
Foreperson by assumption- said she was 22 - very overweight math teacher-to-be, takes over, pushes others around, acts coy, talks incessantly.
Well-to-do, married, in her 70's, very conservative, intelligent.
PE coach and nurse - in her 60's, tough, coarse, conservative
Married woman, sensible, caring, in her 50's, conservative.
The suit charged negligence. I felt that was not true. The mother had taught her son to be careful; the gun was kept in her room until she felt she could trust him, that he was not to use it without her being present. Someone else got the gun from the house, an older boy, and the son picked it up, called to the girl who was playing on the fence between the yards and said he was going to shoot, thinking it was empty. The girl turned, the boy shot, the BB hit.
Doctors agree that BB need not be removed and no future problems should arise.
The other 7 jurors were willing to listen to my argument, then ignored it, did not discuss, did not ponder. They had decided she was negligent, even though each one of them recounted a story or two about their own indiscretions as youngsters, and none was willing to say that their mothers were negligent; it's just the sort of thing that can happen to kids.
The group felt that there was no reason to award a large amount. We (I had been marginalized since I was not a signer, but I was able to participate) calculated the medical bills and added on $10,000 for pain and suffering and possible future surgery; even though three doctors said there would never be any need for it.
We all thought that the attorneys for the plaintiff were obnoxious, ill-prepared and sarcastic. The judge seemed uncomfortable.
When the clerk read the verdict, she had to ask the judge to verify for her that the figure was correct, seemed to find it unbelievably low.

Jute is a natural fibre popularly known as the golden fibre. It is obtained from the bark of the jute plant. Jute is mainly grown in south Asia and it was originally called by its Bengali name 'Pat' which means a braid of hair. Jute has been used for centuries for ropes and cordage for sea vessels. It is one of the cheapest and the strongest of all natural fibres and considered as fibre of the future. Jute is second only to cotton in world's pro

Making money through a casino affiliate program is like so many of the progressive jackpots that the games on the casino sites advertise. The prize is built up over time and dedication, not simply won on the first roll of a dice or spin of a wheel. Affiliates like the casinos and other successful sites on the Internet must first build up a large customer base in order to harbour any hopes of earning serious money. But that customer foundation ne

While looking for a loan to cope with any of your financial needs, all your efforts should be directed towards keeping the loan amount and rates of interest, as low as, possible. The reason behind this is that a debt is a financial obligation and you will have to repay it, in any case. You are free to make use of your present resources to the fullest for keeping the debt low. To be more specific, you can make use of your assets and avail the inn

I’ve been on Myspace for quite a while, and I’ve learned a thing or two about how it works. Myspace is huge; it is the largest social network on the internet. Everyone has an account, regular internet surfers, businesses, and even politicians have started to tap the power of Myspace. I’ve even gone into bars and made fun of girls for taking pictures for their Myspace profile and it always gets a laugh. You’ve already built a cool profile if

This was the second jury I served on. The first one was an armed robbery case. The verdict was guilty, and I concurred, but the process was hurried and careless. I had to get them to go over the evidence again so we could have a reasonable discussion. Some jurors expressed thanks that we spent more time on it.
It is not fair or reasonable for me to draw any vast conclusion from these two experiences, but it certainly makes me wonder about the jury system.
Post Script: The day after I prepared this article for eZineArticles I received a notice that I have been called up for jury duty, again.
