minus-squarenjm1314@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·9 days agoI just want to say for the record that if anyone is on trial for brutally beating a KKK member and I’m on the jury I will never ever convict you. That is not a crime.
minus-squareCock_Inspecting_Asexual@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 days agoOh thank god- See ya in court Tuesday then!
minus-squarebrygphilomena@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 days agoJury Nullification!!! Seriously people. Know it! Use it!
minus-squaremoistclump@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·edit-28 days agoUnfortunately jury nullification also has a very racist history. Not to say it can’t be used for good now!
minus-squarehoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-25 days agoAs long as it still exists, use it for good I guess. We can’t change the system in a day, but we can use the tricks that racists use to nudge it in the proper direction. And if they don’t like it, sure they can go ahead and remove those tricks. Only makes our system more fair and straightforward, which is a good thing.
minus-squaregrue@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·9 days agoI would never say something like that on record. Unrelated fun fact: having that kind of record come up in voir dire would immediately get you kicked off the jury.
