The juror should have said it was $100,000.

What, you mean this bag of 80k that somebody dropped at my door? No idea where it came from

[-] [email protected] 39 points 1 year ago

I'm shocked that you'd think that any amount of money, even 60k, would get me to compromise my civic duty.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

40k is only a years salary for me so idk why they thought that would be anywhere near enough.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

This 20k would have really helped me out, but alas, morals.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

How do they expect to sway a juror for only $5k?

Seriously? You expect me to compromise my morals for 50k?

Or just take the money and still prosecute and never mention the money.

Someone handed out $120,000? wow, I hope they find that money

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I have a feeling that one would be swiftly dispatched in this sort of instance.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

The kinds of people that hand you $120,000 in exchange for criminal behavior aren't the kinds of people to just shrug their shoulders and be okay with you stealing it.

Take it, gaslight yourself that it doesn't exist, finish the trial, buy a weeks worth of groceries

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I don't think shopping at Whole Foods would be a good use of that money. The asparagus water just isn't worth it, you can make it at home.

Why assume it didn’t start as $250k before it got to the news?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

If I was the juror in a case of this scale, with all of the political people involved, I would be scared shitless that it was a setup by cops or some other party. I would assume I had been videoed taking the money and would run immediately to hand over every penny.

I figure that once you admit to someone trying to bribe you, that someone's finances will probably be investigated, and if it seems like they really gave you bunch more and you lied about the amount, that's potential trouble for you.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

They're convicted felons for the crime of fraud. Of course they're going to try to commit more fraud about how much money they offered you.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You lied or the guy giving you the money took his percentage.

Who are you more likely to believe? The one reporting the crime or the one that committed it?
