Good luck finding a jury who will convict an innocent man. I'd buy him a beer.

    Unfortunately his lawyers will tell him to make a plea deal before it even gets to a jury

    If everyone banded together and refused to ever take a plea deal, it would completely overwhelm our justice system and make it impossible not to enact reform.

    The government literally doesn't have the resources to take everyone they imprison to trial, and they need the private prisons filled. If they can't fill the cots, private equity moves somewhere profitable.

    Once theyre gone, they stop paying lobbyists, once there's no prison lobbyists, no politician is really going to give a fuck.

    But it's literally a prisoner dilemma.

    The government literally doesn’t have the resources to take everyone they imprison to trial, and they need the private prisons filled.

    Quick question: where do the people awaiting trial go?

    Do we remember the gallows brought to the U.S. Capitol by the insurrectionists on January 6th?

    Bringing a dangerous weapon to public space. The damn pickup was more dangerous than that guillotine 😂🤣

    A misdemeanor charge of “Carrying a dangerous weapon outside a home or place of business” according to the document shown in the video

    I see the mistake here. It has to be a gun/guillotine and then you're free to tote it in public.

    That's why you gotta bring it in parts, or build one up over time at the destination and replacing parts that deteriorate over time like a Guillotine of Thesus (this also makes it harder to prosecute because is it really the same guillotine).
