  • This is the start of this:

    "It’s a TOS violation to discuss one of the very real and legitimate responsibilities you have as a juror?

    Like, nullification is a thing because it’s very much the absolute very very last defense against bullshit laws being used against people by a corrupt judicial system.

    It’s a moral imperative and something anyone sitting on a jury should understand and be willing to use.

    What an absurd take, especially since it sounds like it’s all the .world admins having it."

    This is about jury nulification, and one comment on how it will get you kicked off a jury does not make the whole thing about dodging jury duty.

    You might want to check it out, but here is a fun snippet:

    "OPINION

    During voir dire in this criminal case, the trial judge threw a book against the wall, cursed, and berated, yelled at, and threatened a prospective juror for expressing her belief that she could not be impartial. We conclude that such behavior and statements constitute judicial misconduct and may have discouraged other prospective jurors from answering candidly about their own biases. Because we cannot be convinced that an impartial jury was selected under these circumstances where the judge did nothing to alleviate the intimidating atmosphere that he created, we reverse and remand for a new trial."

  • Telling the law to fuck off in official sounding language prior to being an actual juror is not, and that is essentially what the statement “I support JN” is doing.

    You do know there is a whole thing about a US citizen having a right to tell the law to fuck off right?

    Also where did you get the "so can I please be excused" part from? No one was talking nullification in this case in order to dodge jury duty, but that they don't think the assassin should be punished.

    Are You Pregnant Yet? How China is Pushing Women Toward Motherhood
