[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3094253, member: 7900"] With regard to juries, I had a co-worker that served jury duty on a drug case. (We worked for the OSBI.) When it came time to deliberate, my co-worker told me that none of the rest of the jurors had any idea that possession of drugs with intent to sell was a more serious crime than simple possession of drugs. The perp was charged with Possession with Intent and was convicted. As for this guy that was killed, that one story posted by CHenry pretty well explains where the mix-up occurred. In that case, the DA filed Murder in the First degree and later asked for the option of some form of Manslaughter as an alternative, but the judge denied the option for Manslaughter. Thus, the jury had to consider Murder One only with no option for a lesser charge. [/QUOTE]
