Remember, if you're selected for jury duty and you know what Jury Nullification is, NO, YOU DO NOT.
Jury Nullification? I've never heard of it, never once, not even in that popular CPG Grey video.
Off topic, so sorry about that... but is there a list of people maintained somewhere that will absolutely never be called for jury duty? If so, I suspected that I'm on it. I thought that by now (age 41), I'd have at least gotten a summons or something to show up at least once. I've never even been asked to show up.
i know some dont, basically leos, family of LEO, lawyers,paralegals are the least likely to get called into jury service, due to thier knowledge of the courts, which might make hard to convince one side over the other. secondly PHDs, MDs are least likely to be selected due to thier professional training at overanalyzing things. these are the people least likely to be chosen, but not 100%. ever since i started voting ever election, ive gotten once a year, sometimes multiple times a year for summons. They look at your voter registration, dmv records.
i once showed for the first time when i was in CC, only because i had school and couldnt have a later date, i was lucky they had no cases that day. ive been mostly dismissed every other time. (one time i forgot).
I don't think so. It's up to the defense and prosecution to veto a possible juror. Not the court itself.

There’s a guy who killed 23 people in a Walmart in El Passo in 2022. Got charged with hate crimes on account of…he’s openly racist and said that’s why he did it.
That guy just got a plea deal to avoid the death penalty.
Nobody should identify the criminal justice system in America as anything else but a mechanism for protecting the rich.
The death penalty is ethically wrong to me because you can't trust the system 100%, even in the best case. Death row inmates have been exonerated with additional evidence, or just better processing of existing evidence, or other reasons. Unless the judicial system is 100% accurate (which, spoiler, it neither is nor possibly can be), you introduce the possibility of executing innocent people, which should be abhorrent to everyone.
Executing the guilty should be abhorrent to everyone.

Unproven accusatory public statements by AG Bondi against currently completely innocent Luigi Mangione (in a normal world) should undermine the case against him.
I’m no legal expert but to reasonable court this should be worthy of a miss trial. How can you hold an impartial trial under the circumstances?
Is this even the guy who did it? There is an enormous potential for scapegoating in this case.

The case against him is so phony. None of the “evidence” is admissible. There’s a ton of prejudicial statements from the investigators and the prosecutors.
This trial is a sham.
The charges should be dismissed with prejudice.
It is so railroaded by no longer believe Luigi did it.
They’re just pinning it on him as a show to the elites that they are putting on a show for the poors : if you kill one of us we’ll kill you right back.
Ok, I'll take that deal. One of us for one of them. They'll run out faster. I can volunteer first if You let me take out Musk.

They wanted to act quick to nip it because people got so happy when that cunt got his comeuppance. It’s gonna backfire
Wouldn't be surprised if the police planted evidence on Luigi to show all the rich fucks they're open for business. Can only imagine how much bribery came out of this.

Feels like this case is less about justice and more about setting an example—whether that’s political or public theater. Death penalty or not, the timing and narrative definitely feel curated.
Absolutely. This will be a show trial that will eclipse even the OJ trial, and will lead to a lot of civil unrest, whether he's found guilty or not.
it was apparent it was more political, and example the moment the witchhunt began. especially with the clown adams escorting his perpwalk.
The first time i saw that perp walk photo, it had a caption like "Jesus walking to appear before Pilate, accompanied by the Roman Praetorian Guard." And that was EXACTLY what it looked like.
I love it when their clumsy propaganda gets stolen by the Resistance.
We the people should just nullify any jury and break our boy out. Fuck the police. They would kill anyone given the opportunity.
Nah, then he's a fugitive forever.
All that is required is for one juror to say that they cant identify him from the shooting video, so they have reasonable doubt, and stand on the courage of their convictions (a poor word choice in this context, but all i could think of).
They would have to also reject the supposed corroborating "evidence" as well, like DNA they found at the scene, but there is a high likelihood that was planted, certainly high enough that there is reasonable doubt there as well. Nobody trusts NYC cops, or the Sociopathic Oligarchs who are demnding justice for one of their own, who is a Corporate Serial Killer for Profit, responsible for the deaths and suffering of thousands of people who purchased his fraudulent service/ product. They will pay anything to send a message to the poors to stay in line, and do what they are told.
If i was a juror, i could easily find him not guilty, and it wouldn't even be jury nullification. Its just an incredibly weak case, built on propaganda.
You're out of your mind if you think they'll let that happen.
State court there's some room, but federal court is entirely different, the judge has far more power to steer the trial and can kick jurors out because he feels like it.
Most likely he'll have an 'accident' in prison, get epsteined, this is a horrifying precedent for them and they have the power to send a message.

Either it's make america great or safe again, the "america" is never the citizens, it's always the 1%, notice that?
Definitely. Things politicians say make a lot more sense when you realize that code speak.
It kind of always has been this way. “The people,” “Americans,” “White people,” etc have always been defined arbitrarily, and always in American history have referred to wealthy landowners who adhered to a puritan work ethic and a supposed “Anglo-Saxon” culture.

I want absolutely fucking everyone to stop calling it an assassination.
Words have meaning.
This was a murder. Let's not elevate CEOs to the status of the House.
Does mass self defense count as murder? I guess so, it just is so secondary. This is the easiest trolley problem.
Grand epics are made about toppling villains who committed far less harm than stealing, leeching, murdering, torturing health insurance companies.
If wasn't a murder. Only human beings can be murdered.
An alleged murder!
Oh, no.
Dude was murdered.
We just don't know who did it. :)
Not til proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt by a jury of their (also healthcare deprived) peers.

They want to silence him, but I don't think they will be able to.
trying to make it intimidating by having officer standing extremely close to him, like smelling his hairl.
They may succeed in silencing him, but they will never silence his supporters, which grow by the day. He is already a martyr.
