Dude just find the right one. Now everyone would say I am wrong. But if so many get walk free even knowing they were caught red handed.
Why can't he. Dude try your luck like you rolling dices. You might get lucky and roll a 7
Or our jurors cuz it go some jurors that just genuinely hate Police thanks to our current culture of glorifying criminal life so they don't mind giving killers a win in court just to make police look bad. I have seen it myself. Place to small to be using local jurors. Everybody related somehow or inbed with criminals or just secretly hate police but they won't disclose that when being selected
I hope he did not do it then, and that he is one of those business entrepreneurs with children, or it does not reflect well on VI.
If he did it I guess we stuck with this one.
For us clean-minded citizens, there’s nothing to worry about — let them kill off each other. Soldier Boy just happens to be more popular than Erick and had ties with the “cool corner kids,” so, as usual, right or wrong, they’ll defend him.
And dpp for the love of please do not mess this up. Literally a piece of cakes handed to you like a baby. If jurors wanna support killas that's them business. Every dog will have there day and the don't like it when it their turn or family on the receiving end.
I would say properly screen them jurors but the place to small mehson everybody family and friend or connected in some way sigh if only we could outsource cases
This man allegedly killed someone, was released, and while free he allegedly killed again. If this place had not been so incompetent in keeping criminals behind bars, that additional life would not have been lost. His man should not see the outside of a jail cell again in his life. But who am I kidding. This is the Virgin Islands were criminals roam free.
Please don’t forget this guy was who allegedly killed “Ryan Adams” oct 24 2019.
