    Honestly, I think we should have jurors like we have uber drivers. Side gigs for anyone from the McDonalds worker to the attorney to earn a few dollars on the side.
    Who is going to pay for it?

    The government can't afford it plus that would be the prosecution paying the jurors. Don't want the defendants paying the jurors either and often times they can't afford it.

    It wouldn't be any more expensive than taxpayers paying a judge. Judicial salaries are usually absurd. 150k / year into 6 people is 25k / year for each. Not a bad side gig for people with no net impact to county coffers.

    (and then the people deciding justice are more often "peers" then 150k/year egotistical blowhards in gated communities)

    It wasn't a Colorado Supreme Court decision, it was the Colorado Court of Appeals. One step below. The plaintiff can still appeal to the Colorado SC if she wishes. Probably won't change the opinion though.
    “Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.” Andrew Jackson

    A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'

    That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

    Just make everybody wear a body cam. Courts can rarely argue the video/audio is wrong.
