News is coming out of New York that Junior’s trial may result in a hung jury once again. There should be a 3 strikes and you’re out policy that prevents prosecutors from continuously trying a defendant until they get a guilty verdict. Let’s face it, after 100 attempts, they’ll probably get a guilty verdict.

Junior essentially admitted his life of crime when he endorsed a trial strategy that he gave up his Mafia life. The facts of life have indicated that the Mafia has not been in the business of running farm stands in Iowa over the past 100 years. However, Junior has done the time for his past crimes. For 3 trials, juries have been unable to conclude unanimously that he is guilty of the crimes that have been outlined in the case. In the United States, that’s what it takes to be found guilty in a criminal trial. It should be no secret to anyone that no resources have been spared in the prosecution of Junior.

The time has come to say to Junior, “ Good luck son and stay clean.” Our judicial system has been built on fairness. Guilty people have walked to preserve the fairness and the sanctity of the American Judicial system. There is something unfair about trying a person an unlimited amount of times until you get the verdict that you want. 

It’s time to let Junior walk. Hopefully, we won’t see him again. Batman once said, “Crime doesn’t pay.” It doesn’t.
