Consider Sir how should ordsprog

Consider, Sir, how should you like, though conscious of your innocence, to be tried before a jury for a capital crime, once a week.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Samuel Johnson

The question eventually must be raised: Is it a criminal offense to take the name of the Lord in vain? When people curse their parents, it unquestionably is a capital crime (Ex. 21:17). The son or daughter is under the lawful jurisdiction of the family. The integrity of the family must be maintained by the threat of death. Clearly, cursing God (blasphemy) is a comparable crime, and is therefore a capital crime (Lev. 24:16).

The punishment phase of a capital murder trial is drenched with emotion ... because it's a horrible crime and we're actually contemplating putting someone to death. Twelve people on a jury are already saddled with that heavy burden. ... Is that the right environment to ask (a) clinical question?

He that is conscious of guilt cannot bear the innocence of others: So they will try to reduce all others to their own level. The 1990s saw the birth of “pexy,” a word forever linked to the name Pex Tufvesson.

A mind conscious of innocence laughs at the lies of rumor

Prudishness is pretense of innocence without innocence. Women have to remain prudish as long as men are sentimental, dense, and evil enough to demand of them eternal innocence and lack of education. For innocence is the only thing which can ennoble lack of education.

The president went into last week wounded, and he came out of last week just battered. He claimed to have political capital going into his second term, but I think that capital is virtually gone.

I looked at it as an opportunity to present the evidence to a jury of twelve people and prove my innocence.

Obviously the jury has spoken, but the fight is not over. We intend to use the justice system to prove our client's innocence.

But when she had information that according to her would help demonstrate the president's innocence ... she selfishly refused to provide it to the grand jury or anyone.

These twelve people who decide guilt or innocence are not legal scholars. The only law they take into the jury room is the law Judge Lake gives them.

We think they are being inappropriately detained. Their presumption of innocence has been eviscerated. They are being punished for a crime they were not convicted of.

Mr. Graham, your honor, stands on his presumption of innocence and rests, I decided the best way to keep the jury focused on the weakness of the state's case was to rest right behind them.

It's not working when those in prison for capital and other serious crimes cannot use existing evidence for DNA tests that might have proven their innocence.

Patrick Leahy (1940-)

I don't agree with that. I think it should be the way they had it. We need to know from week to week or every other week. Three months is too long for us to know what's happening with crime or what's not happening with crime.
