Jurors would convict

Reading Tuesday that Washington state troopers used phony degrees for pay increases (and probably promotions) and a prosecutor who says a jury would never convict them of trying to cheat the public – or steal our money, as you may call it – hooey! I can’t visualize a jury who wouldn’t convict. Sounds like another cover-up coming.

Then I read the police and prosecutor can’t convict gang murderers because these are gang people – gee whiz, just what do these detectives like Hollenbeck and the prosecutors expect? I know they will want a commendation and a pension for their “good work,” again at our expense. Another hooey! Maybe if only gang members carried pop bottles the police could identify them and beat them to death with their phony degree certificates.

Which raises the question, has anyone really ever checked on the education of our prosecutors? Ya gotta wonder!
