To SteveT....Any chance of you moving to Western Pennsylvania and becoming a professional juror for all of my criminal cases...It only takes one brilliant guy like you to hang up a jury and walk a criminal back onto the street.

Let's pretend I defend the alleged criminal, Worrell. I will make the following closing argument in my defense of Michael Worrell for Felony Theft by Deception, Wire Fraud and Bank Fraud...

MEMBERS OF JURY, LISTEN CLOSELY...A SAILOR FROM COLORADO TOLD ME WHY MY CLIENT IS INNOCENT. I WILL QUOTE HIM DIRECTLY AND YOU MUST ACQUIT MY CLIENT AFTER YOU HEAR HIS LOGICAL ARGUMENT: "...To call him a criminal is unjust. Was he a bad businessman? Did he have incredibly poor judgement? Absolutely, and he is suffering the consequences. But to accuse him of a premeditated criminal act and hurl cruel accusations at him is unfair. MW will suffer the consequences of his poor judgement for the rest of his life. He's lost his livelihood and his entire family is dealing with the loss of their good name. The sailors in the race lost $5,000. Get on with the lawsuit and collect what you can, but stop the public stoning..."

SteveT, 36 sailing teams lost on average $20k per team ($720K+)!!!! They would testify as to their losss. Do you think these men and women are millionaires?

Did you proof read your thoughts before posting? The jury wouldn't even get their butts into the deliberation room...they would convict Worrell in the hallway.

Seriously, I need jurors like you in Pittsburgh. Call me when you get into town.

I apologize for the satire, but I lost over $15000. I ain't no millionaire.
