JUROR HANDBOOK

 

(Revision:  March 15, 2005)

............

 

THE COURTROOM AND FUNCTIONS OF THE PERSONNEL

The following are key participants in a courtroom proceeding:

Judge:  The judge has many duties in connection with a trial.  The judge must see that the trial is conducted in an orderly manner according to prescribed rules and laws covering: selection of the jury, presentation of evidence, arguments of the attorneys, instructions to the jury, and rendering the verdict.

The judge must decide if questions asked of prospective jurors about their qualifications are proper.  The judge also decides on requests to excuse jurors and rules on objections made during the trial.

The judge must inform jurors as to the issues of the facts they must decide, the laws which apply to the case, and their responsibilities as jurors.

Unfortunately for Judge Mark R. Moran, DATELINE reported to their viewing audience of the entire United States Of America (and many other countries) THE WHOLE TRUTH, as told on camera by credible witnesses; one of which was a fire chief, a former employer, who stated the dead person had a violent, hair trigger temper. Other witnesses confirmed this fist-wielding side of this individual.  Sometimes 30 and 40 year old jurors cannot put themselves in a 57 year old body, and have no concept of what fear a man surging with adrenaline with raised fists with a history that scared friends and other employees coming at a a 57 year old man by himself on a deserted trail. It's wonderful how prosecutors can manipulate a jury, and a judge's instructions can help convict. Many people have Moran also served on a Domestic Violence Panel in 2001.

Moral of this story:  If you're walking alone on a trail and are approached by 2 dogs and fear for your life, forget about you're wife and seven children, let the dogs bite you, and let the dog's owner owner beat the shit out of you.  Since cell phones don't work there, and if you are still alive and conscience, drag your bleeding body to the nearest road.

This is justice in Judge Mark Moran's courtroom.
