ReillyT said:Perhaps I am wrong, but I don't think that the decision would have come out differently if a juror had recited from the bible and then the bible passage had been discussed in deliberations. But, perhaps I am wrong.

Happens alot, don't it? lolKathianne said:Exactly. We have a meeting of the minds.
manu1959 said:how did you recieve your summons?
Bonnie said:LOL so now jurors must also leave their brains at home as well???
dilloduck said:Every witness swore to tell the truth on a bible---it's time to settle this hypocritcal BS once and for all if anyone is going to maintain any respect for the law. Again--now wonder people are so angry at judges that they shoot them !
freeandfun1 said:In the mail. I already have a juror number and everything! I already got a delay once, they told me "no more" and if I don't show up, contempt of court.
ReillyT said:Swearing on the bible is optional. It is a matter of practice, but individual witnesses can choose not to.
no1tovote4 said:Clearly you can use what information you have in your head, however you cannot testify yourself by adding to the information presented at trial.

dilloduck said:So if one chooses to use this form of proving the veracity of one's testimony then the very same book should be allowed for the jury to make it's determination.
Bonnie said:Just use the words of Geroge Carlin to get out of it. "I can spot a guilty person just like that" and snap your fingers. I hear it works!! :cof:
freeandfun1 said:I'll have to try that. Or say I am a racist or worse yet even, declare I am a "born again Christian".
ReillyT said:I don't know how you jumped from A to B there.
manu1959 said:how can they prove you got it?
freeandfun1 said:I'll have to try that. Or say I am a racist or worse yet even, declare I am a "born again Christian".
dilloduck said:simple---mans law recognized the Bible as a means to ascertain the proof of a witness--by this means it WAS entered into the procedings.
