I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6

To be judged by 12 is to go to court and to be judged by a 12 man jury, which all court trials have.

To be carried by 6 is to be dead. It is common for 6 people to carry a coffin (3 on each side) to and from the hearse.

In total the phrase "I'd rather be judged by 12, than carried by 6" means that the person would rather kill someone and go to prison than to, themself, be killed and have to be buried.

Judge Cheeto

The annoying fat heffer of an office secretary that somehow always knows when someone has brought in food. You don't tell her about it, but when you open the box of donuts, there she is grubbing on them. Usually has stashes of assorted snacks such as Cheetos and Ring Dings in her desk drawers and cabinets.

Ralph: "Hey Brian, Kim brought in some bagels...come get one."

Brian: "Okay cool, I'll make sure I grab one before Judge Cheeto gets her paws on them."

Ralph: "Good idea...that bitch is ruthless when it comes to food."

Judge Cheeto: "I...smell.....BAGELS!"

Brian/Ralph: "Jesus Christ! It's on the loose! RUNNNNN!!!!!"
