[nfb-talk] jury dudy

[dewey bradley]

He like me went to a state school for the blind, and we all know how they 
teach.
I went to the Colorado center for the blind and was trained by blind people 
who know how to teach blind people how to cross the street, because they are 
as well.
And yess he did get hit really bad, It almost killed him.
the driver ran the light and was reading a news paper.
I was hit my self, It just knocked me down.
It was my falt though, I ware dark clothes, and the car was makeing a right 
turn at night, and I was walking up to the crossing, the light changed, and 
I just went for It.
I came out of no were they said.
I get over things, but maybe some people don't.
