@mirandadevine One sign of a civilization's decline, is moral and ethical decline. Child sacrifice is central to the collapse of most ancient civilizations. Child sacrifice and abortion both are justified to appease false gods.
@JonathanTurley If the heart of our justice system is the jury and it can't discern reasonable doubt, perhaps it's time to reconsider professional jurors or judge panels issuing direct vetdicts.
@JonathanTurley I fear that we are a majority society that is willing to abide anything contrary to conscience. Yet another example of how our justice system is robbed by mercy for criminals.
@JonathanTurley Perhaps in cases involving a confession with circumstances, a judge, or panel of judges, should direct a verdict. Juries are notoriously emotional. Mercy must not rob justice.
