An Extra Credit Assignment...

First of all, let me say hello to blogspot.com

Although I am new to this website, I'm not new to blogging and things of this nature. So, I'll just jump right into it....

An Extra Credit Assignment

So, I'm a student at Georgia State University. You know, tryin' to stay on my scholastic hustle and whatnot. I stay on my grind with the academics. I go to class. I do homework. I go to study sessions. The list could go on and on. Well, every so often, a professor will throw some extra credit my way. My business law professor did, and the story of my extra credit is quite hilarious...

So I go to the courthouse this morning to sit in on a courtcase. What I'm supposed to do is write a report about what I observed during the trial. Well, I get there, find a case, sit down and start taking notes. Due to restraints by "The Man" [the government], I can't really say what I want to, however, I will say this: I feel bad for the guy that was on trial. It ended up being brought to the table that one of the defendant's [ the guy being prosecuted ] witnesses committed perjury, WHILE AT THE WITNESS STAND. Basically, he lied while being cross examined by the prosecuting team. It shocked me, to say the least. And to make matters even worse, the guy being prosecuted is an illegal alien [an immigrant] who's been here since '81. His family was there and everything. Once the guy lied at the witness stand, the defendant's family started looking at him ALL TYPES of sideways. I didn't get a chance to stay for the entire courtcase because I had other engagements...but I will say this:

I feel bad for the guy being prosecuted.

They are about to throw the BOOK at his a** and prosecute him to the FULLEST extent of the law....smh....
