‘Not by jury of peers, but victims’
Before the jury came back in the room for the showing of the graphic videos, Joseph Duncan told the court he wanted to express strong objections to its showing. “I would just like to state for the record … that I strongly object,” he said. “Basically this video will be turning the jurors into my victims, so I will be tried not by a jury of peers, but of victims.” Judge Edward Lodge responded, “Objection noted, denied.”
