Snoop Dogg arrested at SoCal airport
When officers searched the vehicle they found a gun and marijuana, police said.
"There was no basis for this arrest," the rapper's attorney, Donald Etra, said in a statement.
No basis?
This is why I never get selected for jury duty. Sure, I get summoned constantly, but I never get selected. You see, there's this questionaire that perspective jurors have to fill out and one of the questions goes something like this, "Do you have confidence in our judicial system?"
Putting aside the OJ Simpsons, Robert Blakes, Michael Jacksons, (et al), trials that have been farcical(sp?), the answer is still "no, i do not have confidence in our judicial system." Despite the adjective "judicial", our current system has strayed far from the model of "justice".
True justice would mean that if somebody is guilty, they should be punished accordingly. Evidence obtained illegally should be dealt with as a separate offense. Juries should be comprised of people who can reason (which, sadly, is usually contrary to the whole "jury by peers" concept). Unfortunately, smart people know how to get out of jury duty, which leaves only the disgruntled and moronic 'peers' to decide the outcome of the case.
"We believe that once this is cleared up, all charges will be dismissed."
yep, he's probably right about that.
