Justice has been served!

The defendant: Not guilty

"The people's" prosecution lawyer: Guilty of being outrageously long winded despite having no evidence, boring us to death, and wasting our time and taxpayer's money by keeping us in trial for a full week over a neighborly dispute about a broken car window.

The real justice: At 4:07 today the jury went into the deliberation room and emerged 12 minutes later to deliver the fastest verdict on record at the Hollywood Courthouse - one minute before closing time - besting the previous record by 50 minutes, despite the Bailiff's recommendation that we go home and begin at 9:00 am on Monday (one fantastically brave juror spoke up and insisted that we be allowed to use the 15 minutes). She had barely just brought the evidence to us and the judge hadn't even finished typing up the instructions he'd just read when we informed her that we were ready to go back to the courtroom and wrap up this trial. Only one juror had any questions about which way to vote on one of the four charges and we successfully peer-pressured her into folding quickly so we could finally leave this inane case behind us. The main topic of our deliberation was how something this trite lacking any evidence whatsoever got to court in the first place.

Gotta love America!
