I even question the validity
of the breath test results for the helmsman as he didn't have enough to
drink to get those results. Could it be that they rigged the breath tester
and that's why they didn't want to use it on the cop? Very possible.


Could it be that he lied about how much he had to drink? Nah, couldn't be.
Much more likely the test was rigged.

Take it to any impartial jury and the helmsman
will walk. Make book on it, dude!


Um...Neal, the trial is over. The jury has spoken. Your hero lost. Beyond
a
reasonable doubt.



Duh! Ever hear of the appeals process? The guy would be an idiot not to
appeal it all the way to the SCOTUS.

Where in the court of appeals do I find the jury, Neal? You do know what a
jury is, don't you?



Duh! An appeals judge can (and should) nullify the result and send it back
down for re-trial. They jury obviously made a gross error in judgment. It
happens as juries are as stupid as a box of rocks these days.
