      @@kylerobison1425 Oh you think because a convicted criminal assumes unusual frankness about the crime they were convicted for and already served time, that they aren’t lying about other things that haven’t been detected by police? They only tell you what they want to tell you; confessing a crime that has already been accounted for doesn’t make them honest, you’re just gullible.

    Honestly the issue w fentanyl imo is at the wholesale mid level. Most drug users don’t want fentanyl or don’t know they’re doing it. Yeah some love it but the main issue is most drug dealers aren’t gonna pass up a low volume high profit substance. I’ve never really seen drug dealers as bad guys bc they’re just supplying demands but this fentanyl shit is just too greedy. It’s wild in 2022 that people just want regular heroin

Everyone else that's involved on the gov side are making decent money to good money (Lawyers, judges, support staff, federal agents, etc). Contrastingly, the Jurors are forced into serving, begrudgingly offered paid parking and minimum wage, both of which in some locales they have to fight for. Its ridiculous. Thankfully, at least in this case, at the end they get to see Justice delivered. Many/most trials, Justice is an afterthought casually tossed away for expediency. This long on Juror duty will cost people their jobs, promotional opportunities, family problems, not to mention that most Jurors, unlike in this case, their identities are public knowledge....... :-(
