re: Jury Duty

Picked for a jury trial, young lad with three kids and a wife were test driving a used vehicle on a neighborhood street when got pulled over for no tag, no insurance etc for about 1500 dollar in fines. He asked for a jury trial on the basis that the fines were beyond his ability to pay and no one in the sheriffs office would talk to him. He actually said in court that factually the charges were correct but an unfair hard hit.

As jurors we discussed the situation and returned a verdict of not guilty on all counts. The judge choked and started to say, but he admitted guilt, before he shut down and said case dismissed
