quote:In some states juries determine guilt or innocence, but a judge then bases the sentence on aggravating factors, such as the heinous nature of a murder or whether it was committed for monetary gain.
Monday's ruling turned on the Constitution's guarantee of a jury of one's peers and a Supreme Court ruling two years ago that struck down another kind of sentence determined by a judge instead of a jury.

That's good. One judge probably shouldn't have that much power.

-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I'm tired of the jacket! sweating my gang while I'm chilling in the shagget. And for what? Maybe it's cause I kick so much butt! I kick ass! ...while I'm playing with a the trigger of an Uzi or an AK, cause the police always got something stupid to say! My identity by itself causes violence! And fuck the police! Without a gun or a badge what do you got, just a sucka waiting to get shot. By Me! Or some other N----! Rolling with my gang, it don't matter if you smarter or bigga!
While I'm driving off laughing this is what I'll say: Fuck tha police, fuck fuck fuck fuck tha police.
