    I 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.

      On the jury, being shown some video evidence…

      “It doesn’t look like anything to me.”

        You can actually question if video evidence is still credible, with editing software and deep fakes nowadays.

        “It’s not a crime to beat up a ghost, because ghosts don’t exist. I think we’re done here.”

      I 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.

        If a lawyer can find this they deserve to kick me off the jury. Although I will say I’ve never been picked for a jury I think I’m Kryptonite the most lawyers.

        Unfortunately jury nullification also has a very racist history. Not to say it can’t be used for good now!

          As 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.

      You probably wouldn’t end up on the jury without lying during jury selection then.
