I was in jury selection for a case several years ago. Defense attorney is asking members of the jury if they would actually consider a minimum sentence, which for the case at hand of child sexual assault is a minimum sentence of six months.

A respondee, a man, maybe in his 40s, cowboy hat, used jeans, you know, clearly like fairly legit farm worker, rancher, something along those lines, stands up after he's called and goes "No, sir, I believe that child abusers should be hung from the neck until dead." Sits down.

If you are going to commit crime, Texas is the wrong place to do it.
