Yesterday was what we call 'a growing day' for the crops, the lawns, the flowers, the gardens and the creatures who share the earth with us. A total of 2" of rain watered the world where we live.
Have written about my interest in the Karen Read trial out in Massachusetts. Well, that interest has ratcheted up to anxiety. A sea of people wearing pink (in support of Karen) gathered around the courthouse in Norfolk County, some traveling across several states to be present when the verdict is rendered. The tension is building, and already I need another blood pressure pill.
From my personal perspective, I see our justice system not holding up to its high standards, 'specially when it comes to the judges who preside over the trials. The judge in this case was caught and shown on national television signaling the prosecutor to object, he immediately objected, she sustained the objection and she smiled with her admonishment. That's unacceptable. Yesterday the defense made a motion for a more understandable verdict form, and the judge denied their motion. Wouldn't one think the judge would want to make the verdict form clear and understandable? If I was Karen Read, I sure would. But......the bias and the corruption keeps on growing. During the trial, I actually thought to count the number of prosecutor objections she sustained versus the number of defense objections she overruled.
We all know that life isn't fair.....far from it. Yet, our justice system is a sanctuary of safety for all of us. My toes are crossed that the jury delivers a verdict of not-guilty by the end of the day, or I'll need to be medicated more than I already am. (It's funny that I say that, cuz another viewer said the same thing in a podcast chat regarding this trial.)
