The Social Poets: John Edwards Trial: Kangaroo Court Seeks To Direct Jury Conviction: From Denny: Here's just a small snippet of how this Kangaroo Court breaks it down to cover their asses, both the judge's and the jury's should they enjoy convicting this man.

The judge is first baffling the jury with so much contradictory bullshit as to confuse and frustrate them into finding Edwards guilty out of sheer exasperation. Judge Catherine Eagles basically informs the jury to find a way to hang Edwards and the court will give them cover.

Oh, and did I mention that the government never did specify where said crimes were committed and was not even sure when it was supposed to have happened? How can you bring a case when you can't even nail down the specifics? You want to send a man to jail for 30 years without any direct proof of said conspiracy?
