NO JURY GRAND OR SMALL

"The primary function of the modern grand jury is to review the evidence presented by the prosecutor and determine whether there is probable cause to return an indictment."
I think a great many American citizens interested in the life and death of young Trayvon Martin, have reviewed evidence presented by the media and determined that systems are either corrupt, broken, racially biased or in need of a major overhaul. Whether there is or is not a grand jury, many minds are already clear about what happened and why. Why law enforcement can't or won't see what seems to be obvious, is no surprise. Is it because this is America, or because of a law on the books that was borne out of frustration with violent criminals and their propensity to get away with their crimes?
An imposter in a pair of stylish shades through which she can see every litigant; who is not swift, but slowed by carrying the weight of bribes, lies, mistrust, secrets, and conspiracies, has tried to replace Justice, but real Justice never dies. No jury, grand or small can change that. Truth stands, no matter who is isn't telling it. Unfortunately, what we think may be spot on, doesn't always count or override existing law.
Individuals selected for grand juries aren't vetted for biases, so instead of being frustrated, maybe a sigh of relief is in order. Some grand juries aren't so grand, and could do more harm than good. There could have been a whole group of people who are sick of crimes committed by young Black men or who have been crime victims themselves. There could have been a whole group of people who fled one neighborhood for the safety of another and sympathize with others who have done the same. There could have been a whole group of childless, racist, unsympathetic, or fearful people. There's nothing saying that the people convened would have leaned in the direction that the majority of people favor.
Sometimes people are so accustomed to being wronged that they expect and brace themselves for it in every aspect of life. They don't ever look for fairness or justice in certain circles because it seems to always be elusive. Everything is viewed in terms of black or white. Every deck is stacked. Considering the past; considering very real, personal circumstances, sometimes it appears that they have a point.
I have to believe there's hope. Everyone has not decided to live dishonestly. Everyone is not vested in oppressing or denying others. Doing the right thing isn't a lost art. It's just important to be on one accord about what the right thing is, and be committed to doing it no matter what.
