18-Year-Old Male Shot at Sheetz in California, Police Investigating

[PeoplesElbow]

I sat on a couple of cases, don't know if Fritz was the prosecutor or one of his staff.
Personally don't know the man, I do know there are some people who don't like him, but obviously more do like him or he wouldn't get elected.

In my cases it was the comments from the other jurors that amazed me. The one case they picked up the guy when cops raided the house for another reason. He had a hell of a lot of weed. But the judge said that quantity alone is not a measure of intent to distribute.
The guy claimed he was visiting his cousin for the weekend and this large quantity was for his personal consumption.
Even though he had a small scale and some empty bags. Not being a user, I'm like, BS, that's way to much for personal use.
But there were a couple of people with "experience" that said they would have no problem using that much over a long weekend.

This was a case for felony murder (commit a felony and someone gets killed its felony murder) but Fritz kept saying over and over "in for a dime, in for a dollar" as if he thought some catch phrase would get him a conviction.

His entire case was more defending the felony murder definition than actually trying to convict the defendant.

Conversely I was a juror on a federal case, those prosecutors were excellent

... There was a lot of siren activity along 3 Notch and Willows Rd this afternoon until about 3:45, a little along Great Mills towards Shangri La.

Probably due to a crash that shut down Rt 5 just north of Willows Road. It was still blocked about 4:45 this afternoon. I had to turn back and go around via 235. Surprised not to see any news coverage yet.

So what you are saying is Fritz isn't a good lawyer, but a good enough politician that should leave the courtroom to the lawyers on his staff.
Because that does not sound like a very bright prosecutor, I'm no lawyer but I think I would try for a better case than that.
Typically they either won't file charges or go to trail unless they have a solid case, or at least a fairly good one.

I know enough to know that most of the work lawyers do is not in the courtroom so I can't say he is a bad lawyer, I am saying he is no good at speaking to a jury, he may be a great lawyer up until that point for all I know.

My Mrs was able to make the turn onto Willows (she comes from Hermanville after exiting Pax Gate 3) about the time...said there was a long string of flares blocking 5 just north of Willows.

When I was driving home on Willows, looked like all of southwest Saint Marys had been diverted from the traffic flow.

It was probably cover on the AM traffic report. I get a laugh out of those. "There's an accident southbound....". Me looking around thinking," ain't nothing here?" There is a huge amount of latency between what's happening on the ground and what they broadcast on radio.
