Unfortunately justice isn't always served. But sometimes it is. Either way, it's always worth it to speak up for yourself.

^That was it.
Whoa, that's so interesting CL! How was that? Were you incredibly nervous to make a decision or did you feel pretty confident about the case against the guy?
It was one of the most interesting experiences of my life. Apart from being super depressing, I loved it.
There was plenty of DNA evidence and break in evidence. This guy didn't know his victims. He just broke into homes and raped them at knife point. So yeah, we all felt really confident in our verdict.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
