Question Is Coos County Big Enough to Find a Competent Jury?

He even said he caused the crash!

Coös County Police were too slow to read his Miranda Rights?

Worse, eligible Coös County voters who'd read of those instances would be excluded from the jury! That leaves a very ignorant jury in a tiny jurisdiction with few who hadn't known of this crash that left seven dead bodies.

The defense found a weak link among the bikers, and played it to the hilt.

Among my library of books--mostly about Nature--I have a volume autographed to me by the author titled, "The Defense Never Rests".

Personally, I'd like very much to analyze an enlarged aerial photograph of the [cleared] roadway scene with the sun directly overhead.
