So I was on a jury. The officer involved testified on some things that made it sound very bad for the defendant.
Then we saw the body cam of part the interaction. Technically what he said was true but extremely exaggerated. Made us discount everything he said that wasn’t on video.
We ended thinking the defendant was probably guilty but they didn’t prove it so we decided not guilty.
Thats how the jury i was on went but it was before body cams. Basically they said dude was “exchanging small packages for money” implying he was dealing drugs. The cops claimed he tossed the “small packages” when he drove off. They never collected these “small packages” so how do i know what they were?
We all thought dude was probably guilty but that the police work was too shoddy to convict. Cop looked pissed on the way out of court.
