My take away was a promise to never commit a crime. I made my kids promise to never commit a crime. Because I never want my fate or my families fate decided by what I witnessed.

I was the foreman on a cut and dried (guilty as Hell) drunk driving case. Case took all afternoon and we were close to wrapping it up just before 5:00 P.M....except one meat-headed construction worker (who was of course on paid time off) said he couldn't "make up his mind"----douche bag was more than happy to have the other 11 of us come back the next day so he could get another day off.....
