uh with regard to uh to jury trials i you know i i really feel as though uh jury trials are are uh whatever system has been been used historically in particular jurisdiction
you know is really the the only kinds of things that you can use because the the jurisprudence is you know based on on uh you know on accumulated body of law
and if if you have a situation where you change that body of law then all of sudden they they start they could start going back and digging up all these cases
that uh that would be handled differently were they judged by today's standards so i i really don't think it they they can really do much of anything to change it what do you think
um i i don't think so possibly in the jury selection would be the only
just for example what we're seeing in California i guess
yeah it makes you wonder um had the jury been a different group of people
what would've happened with that outcome um
and and the problems that that has come
that has come from this decision that that jury came to after all of us witnessed what we did with the video tape beating um
just makes you wonder i guess whether or not they
well won't well maybe they used a little bit too much force with stuff like that but then then you know the defense lawyer addressed each and every one of those blows apparently
um-hum
that's that
and you know the other two guys sat in the car
um-hum
and they didn't get beat up
no
you know Rodney got beat up because he he you know he purposes you know he involved himself in some sub self-destructive behavior
um-hum
and uh um
just like the burning and looting is self-destruct everybody says well this is the nineties and they're gonna rebuild and it'll be even better
uh-huh
oh yes
hey what do you think you know some some black guy with capital is gonna come in and invest in that area
uh
that's right
with everybody with that mindset they they're they're gonna that whole area is gonna be turned into residential ghetto you know and and you might even be able to to use it for for a bombing test site you know
they're only gonna suffer
yeah they're only gonna suffer they they've defeated themselves with with their looting and violence um
i understand why they were upset by the verdict just because even those of us that aren't black or uh don't live there or whatever
we all saw the same thing on the on the tape and um
well everybody's everybody's saying this is gonna be a new era we're gonna reexamine this thing
hey the bunch the average person is gonna take a look at that and say suspicions confirmed they're a bunch of animals
you know how can you really deal with an environment where you're gonna lose everything
forty deaths i mean there are forty people that are dead as a result of that
i know
that's really ridiculous
and i'm just trying to determine you know how you address and how you weigh you know Rodney getting getting the the hell beat out of him against you know forty deaths
against forty other people being
yeah and there's no other i i'm not sure exactly sure uh what the circumstances surrounding the deaths
and i'm very upset that the news media has not identified those deaths and and pursued it you know because i'm interested in the circumstances surrounding this thing
those deaths
um-hum
is it a looter that got shot by a store owner
or just a bystander an innocent bystander or somebody got actually beat to death or what um
i you know no tears
yeah and and so i but i i suspect a number of them you know you you see film of people being pulled out of a car and shot you know in in the street
it uh or or beaten
and and my reaction is i would've run over fifty people before rather than stop
and uh and there there would've been just uh nothing but carnage after after if i'd been at the wheel no one would've stopped me
right
that's that's exactly how i feel too i wouldn't have uh they wouldn't have stopped my car for any anything had i seen them coming but i was just wondering since you were you're in you're back east um
and a little closer to the the bigger cities probably than we are in Idaho here
right i'm inside the beltway
oh
you know how capital gang they always say well inside the beltway they think thus and so and i say well wait a minute i'm inside the beltway and i don't think like that
um-hum oh in what uh section of the government do you work
i'm a government employee
i'm with the FBI
oh oh that's interesting
yes and and so um
uh and and the reason i'm doing this whole thing is because you know Rick who is another government employee wanted a speech segments of my speech that uh were done a year ago and he wanted another collection a year later
uh-huh
oh
and so this is my seventh call a year ago i did eleven calls
oh i see
and so that's that's why uh
uh that's that's why i'm religiously getting on the phone because i have a unique you know i have a unique situation here in that if i don't participate
um-hum
