Teacher, I brought you an apple.

OK.

We're starting off with Chris Cassidy.

==========================

We all know what Mr. Cassidy did. Well now the lawyers want to find out exactly what's going on.

Apparently a juror called up a court official, and during that convo said something that could put the verdict in jepordy. So now the lawyers are going down this LONG winding road trying to determins if something actually happened. And if something might have tainted the verdict.

It's so sketchy. The court listened to the audio of the five minutes when the jury read the verdict. Then the judge asked the lawyer if he wanted to poll the jury to see if they all agreed with the verdict. So the judge starts asking the jurors. out of 12 jurors...11 say "yes" I agree with the verdict.

Here's the convo between the judge and one juror.

Judge: "Juror, do you agree with the verdict?"

Juror: "mhmh" (mumbles)

Judge: "I'm sorry? Juror, do you agree with the verdict?"

Juror: (A disgruntled) "Yes"

What a cop-out. What's the point of a jury system, if the jurors can't even speak up if they're dissatisfied with a verdict?

You know---all this wouldn't have happened if the guy would have just hired James Letcher as his lawyer. Cassidy would have been smoking cigars with the Mayor of Shediac, with Renee Gaudet sitting on his lap, all having a good laugh. Not to mention Allain Heon would be playing his security guard!
