609 by KeertanaVemuri Lyrics
In a US court of law
Much to the prosecutions grievance
The defender can tell the jury about
Any type of deviance
That the client has committed
From stealing a loaf of bread
To cutting off someone's head
To dismembering a dead corpse
But wait it gets worse
this method cannot be used against the defence
Because 609 only applies
in the case of the plaintiff’s offences
What is 609 you ask?
Well let me explain
It allows the defence to tell the jury about
Any information that pertains
To the moral character of the defendant
This is particularly crucial in civil hearings
As they can potentially make a case or end it
In cases such as these
it is often the word of the hero against the villain
Who do you think they're going to believe?
The officer of the law or the convicted felon?
In a case of Police Brutality
It's important for jurors to show neutrality
When listening to 609 evidence
but of course, not all jurors follow this
