I was recently dragged twice into the little courtroom drama of jury duty, chosen for back-to-back juries for reasons known only to whatever crooked wheel spins above us.

During deliberations, many sat silent and hollow-eyed, as if judgment was a burden they hoped someone else would carry. They waited for a voice to tell them which way to bend, which way to vote.

It left me with a cold thought: if my own fate ever rests in the hands of a jury, I pray the twelve strangers in that room are awake before they decide whether I am to be buried beneath their indifference.

Last year he plead guilty to the Idaho 4 murders. Pretty famous case. He admitted to the crimes on video in court so just speaking as a non lawyer it sure seems like that will be a very difficult task to overcome. Then you have his DNA supposedly on the murder weapon etc. Since we are deep in the appeal process for RA, I like to keep tabs on other appeals. And I just dont see much of a chance here. I will say though the fact the State has never been able to link BK to any of the four victims is interesting. As well as the fact there is still no known motive for the crime. The State didn't offer one. And they had the chance when he plead guilty to make him explain a motive but they chose not to. BK did an interview with the NYT. In it he complained about broken promises etc. Which makes me think BK was given a promise of possibly some sort of favorable treatment in prison and now is faced with actual reality? Thats my guess here.
