Death row inmate gets new trial because of tweet

[gunslingingbird]

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — The Arkansas Supreme Court on Thursday tossed out a death row inmate's ****** conviction and said he deserves a new trial because one juror ***** and another tweeted during court proceedings.

Erickson Dimas-Martinez's attorneys had appealed his 2010 ****** conviction because a juror sent tweets despite the judge's instruction not to post on the Internet or communicate with anyone about the case. The lawyers also complained that another juror *****.

In one tweet, juror Randy Franco wrote: "Choices to be made. Hearts to be broken...We each define the great line." Less than an hour before the jury announced its verdict, he tweeted: "It's over."

Other tweets by Franco made passing references to the trial, with posts such as, "the coffee sucks here" and "Court. Day 5. Here we go again."

Seriously?!? For fuck's sake, you fucking imbecile, you were specifically instructed not to communicate with anyone about the god damned trial!!! I understand that might be overwhelming to the rabbit turd inside your skull, so let me say it nice and slowly: NOT A FUCKING PEEP, TWEET, POST, CALL, MESSAGE, IM, E-MAIL, OR ANYTHING ELSE WHERE YOU SO MUCH AS THINK OF THE FUCKING CASE!!!

The scariest part is that we let simpletons like this ****-for-brains make decisions in our justice system. :bang:

My favourite part is how they just told everyone his name so we can all **** on his lawn and then Tweet about it.

Too bad the Judge can't throw his ass in jail for contempt.
