They were gathered at this trial to decide either one of two things: guilty, or not guilty.
In a unanimous and quick vote, this jury of 12 taxpayers determined that Kurtis Kern Korff was INNOCENT, he did NOT try to "murder" Oregon Deputy James Geiger, by using a car he was unfamiliar with and did not even own; nor did he try to run Geiger over, nor harm him.
In Hell -- and INNOCENT!
For the past two years, Kurtis Korff has been locked up in jail, innocent all along of this attempted murder charge as it has now been proved, falsely and inhumanely charged by Oregon District Attorney Stephen Campbell for an "offense" that he did not commit.
First, there was the mistrial
This case was controversial from the very beginning. It could never be anything but "controversial," unless one does NOT care about the truth.
The reason is simple: this "case" should NEVER have existed in the first place! It was a complete concoction, a complete fabrication.
When Oregon DA Campbell tried to convict Kurtis Korff on this same false and phony charge more than one year ago, a mistrial was declared.
Campbell’s side was caught by Kurtis’ sharp-minded and detailed attorney, Mary Landers, withholding crucial evidence from the discovery. This is blatantly illegal. Campbell’s side of this phony soup of his, had kept this material for one YEAR!
This is "Justice" in America?
What has shocked almost everyone about this case, is the brazen manner in which DA Campbell has flouted his authority and power, and has thumbed his nose at enforcing the law and upholds it selectively.
Campbell is noted and is criticized for wasting taxpayers’ money chasing prosecutions he knows he either cannot win, or that he will end up settling anyway.
While Campbell plays "God" and sits in his own one man world of prosecutor, judge and jury, innocent people like Kurtis Korff lose two years of their life, and for what reason?
For it is better that a hundred guilty men go free, than to falsely convict an innocent human being.
