Courts across the country have noticed an unusual request by defendants facing serious charges like rape and murder.

“They all want Lindsey Graham on their juries.”

Criminal lawyers say their clients are very keen on the Senator based on his approach to the trial process.

“They especially love the way he says he will ignore any and all evidence before the proceedings have even started.”

This goes double for those whose cases are considered a ‘slam dunk’ by prosecutors.

“The ones who confessed after being literally caught red-handed are expecially keen to have Graham sit in judgement of them.”

Though it’s not normal practice, they are hopeful Graham will unleash an impassioned rant in their defence to intimidate other jurors.

“The rapists in particular are confident he will do this based on past performance.”
