Trial by jury for traffic offenses:
I have a friend who has gotten a few too many tickets over the years. His lawyer would pull this stunt. Lawyer would talk to the DA to negotiate reduced/dropped charges. DA would refuse as they have him dead to rights. Lawyer would throw up his hands and say "then we want a trial by jury." DA would start negotiating.
A trial by jury takes time and cost money.

Well, if we try to keep her on a short leash...Quoth catcul View PostHer self-inflicted problems made this bad egg into a Seether.“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers

I have patients who have had surgery on their dominant hand MULTIPLE times to repair bad fractures caused by punching inanimate objects like cement walls, pickup doors, etc. in fits of <drunken> frustration...Quoth Argabarga View PostThere is a certain kind of person who seems to believe that if they just make things bad enough, they'll create a badness singularity that collapses space-time in on itself and spits them out on the opposite side where everything is good....Some days, it's just not worth chewing through the restraints...

She probably thought that all she had to do was explain that the other driver was an asshole and didn't get out of her way and that's why she rammed him (or whatever she was charged with) and they'd be SURE to see her side.Quoth CyberLurch View Post
A jury trial for a traffic case? That alone is noteworthy. I'd love to know more about this."I try to be curious about everything, even things that don't interest me." -Alex Trebek

The thing is, functional people tend to recognize when they've made a mistake, and start, you know, working on fixing the situation. If nothing else, we eventually remember the First Rule of Holes. The people who insist that if they keep digging they'll eventually come out in China, those are the ones who end up getting into real trouble.Quoth dalesys View PostIt's bad enough when one of the Them pulls a stupid, but it is truly embarrassing when it is one of Us.
