Because the accused only allegedly stabbed the defendant 80 times, then jumped up and down on his corpse screaming "I DID IT AND I'D DO IT AGAIN!" in front of nearly a thousand people -- many of whom recorded the whole thing on their cell phones. Now if you'll excuse me, I'd like to call Defense Witness #637 to the stand.

Red heads weren't supposed to be included in the definition of human beings in the constitution or the Declaration of Independence. Google it.

there is a legal precedent differentiated being "caught red-handed" and being "caught balls-deep." jury trial is still required for the former but not for the latter. do your research op.

A cop sees you shoot somebody and throws you in jail for first degree murder. What he doesn't know is the guy was robbing you by pretending to have a gun under his article of clothing. Not abuse - the officer didn't know. In the trial it comes up that the person was wanted for doing similar robberies in the past, which gives reason to believe he was doing it again, enough for a reduced sentence/ acquitted.

op you're so lucky that you have a functioning legal system sure you get juries that are made up of random yokels who sometimes give verdicts of not-guilty to obviously guilty white folks, but w/e. here in Ireland we have tribunals whose job it is to make things looks like a trial, pay lawyers shitloads of money and in the end, make a "finding of fact" that is essentially an opinion, sterile of legal meaning and inadmissible in court. if you even get to a trial a judge can pretty much instruct a jury to deliver a particular verdict. if the jury catches a judge dozing off and decides to be a bit cheeky, the judge will literally lose his poo poo and hand out community service/suspended sentences. then he makes the closing statement in which he protests the convict's innocence ("they were led into illegality") and calls the jury a bunch of cunts in the most polite way possible if you're a or you just get a suspended sentence (you have to pay weregild as well if you're unlucky), if the judge thinks you look ugly/poor he'll gently caress you if there's a moral panic don't even expect a jury School Nickname fucked around with this message at 16:34 on Jul 23, 2014 |

now I have to say that everything I said in my previous post on this comedy website was incorrect because otherwise I would literally be sued successfully for hurting a rich old white man's feelings

This used to happen all the time in communist Russia. Basically there was a story of a cop who saw a guy shooting another guy dead. So he figured he's guilty and threw him into jail for 10 years. Then one day the cop saw the man who was supposedly dead walking around normally and he ran over to him shouting "I thought you were dead! There's a man in jail for your murder!" Anyway, it turned out that the gun he used to 'kill' him was in fact a toy gun that shot out a little flag that said "bang" on it and the 'dead' guy had just slipped on a banana peel. The imprisoned man had killed himself after 7 years and this really goes to shot the benefits of due process and Albert Einstein.

Because people lie or are mistaken about what they witness, and in a civilized criminal justice system (ok, so not ours) people are presumed innocent because sometimes even when someone is "caught" red-handed the person who caught them is retarded and didn't actually catch them doing anything. So you have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the poo poo happened. Just trusting one or two people who think they saw it happen is dumb when it happens in a real live case, but it would be even dumber to just be able to lock people up on any old persons's say so. For instance, I would be dropping dimes on all of my enemies. "Yeah, officer? this b-hole totally raped some people. Lock him up forever, thanks."

Nope. Banana peels, being rubbery and dry, have higher grip than hardwood or many other flooring surfaces. No-one has ever slipped on a banana peel that wasn't already lubricated somehow for deliberate comedic effect. Stop making up stories to make commies look bad you commiephobe.
