I for one was marathoning Mario Party with him that morning. All the best people are saying it!

I mean it's super super tenuous that he did it in the first place. Again they ethier got him through illegal means or just framed a guy and both feel equally likely in this case with how hard the prosecution keeps dropping the ball.

Sometimes you take the hero you get, whether they want to be or not.

Yep. Maybe this is irelevant to US law, but I'm in Romania (European Union member) at the moment and here discriminating against someone based on wealth (wealthy/poor) is a hate crime (as is discriminating based on gender, age, orientation, etc). So at the most it'd be a hate crime. The terrorism charges were politically motivated.

An even more convincing engraving would've been something like "The working class is finally coming for the billionaires. None of you are safe." or similar.

You can't intimidate a dead man.

They should have said something like, "The prosecution hasn't established a motive for the crime to justify a terrorism charge," or something similar.

But I'm not a lawyer, so it's possible (maybe probable) that it's fine to reference the defendant's motives in reference to the prosecution's claims.

They need to link to your social media posts to YOU. My Lemmy accounts are made with temporary emails. In fact, I stopped using reusable emails unless I absolutely have to. Also I was active on facebook (I only made a facebook account because of the pestering of my family many years ago. But I didn't use it much until years later... and even then, just for a few years, and then I stopped. I stopped using it for a long ass time. I have yet to delete my account though). There was that dumb trend online of many people using their real identities, which I kinda fell for until I realized how colossally stupid it was.

Basically if I had to conceal my lemmy posts (which is my main online social media) I just need to delete my cache and cookies and there is no way for them to find them on my phone or my other computers for them to search. I can deny ever having made any post and there is not a damn thing they can do about it. Even if they somehow want full records from ISP (and I use a VPN) I can just say I read everything and never posted.

No. It won't.

If you say the words "jury nullification" before you're selected, you'll 100% be disqualified. If you say it after you're selected... you'll probably still be disqualified. There's really no reason at all to say those words anywhere near an actual jury. But you can explain the idea, carefully, and maybe not too explicitly.

A jury is the final arbiter of the law. If you decide that throwing a sandwich does not constitute assault, then it's not assault.

Nice try, but unlikely

Acquittal is what happens when all twelve jurors vote "not guilty".

Conviction is what happens when all twelve jurors vote "guilty".

A hung jury is what happens when at least one of the jurors votes differently from the others.

Jury nullification is when the jury votes to acquit despite the obviousness of the guilt of the accused. It is not the best option. The best option is for the jury to acquit based on the fact that the evidence is honestly shit.

Though jurors are never required to disclose the reasons for their vote. Any one juror who votes "not guilty" and refuses to budge from that position despite the others voting "guilty" will cause a hung jury and prevent the accused from being convicted.

Hence, it takes twelve (unanimous agreement of all jurors) to hang the accused, and it also takes twelve to acquit them, but any single juror can choose to hang the jury by obstinately voting against the others.

So he is a good guy Jackal? Like from the Day of the Jackal?

Yeah, that's just a typo.

The whole thing is bullshit tho. When you already know where you'll find evidence, it's easy to justify after the fact how you could have legally been able to search that one place.

But they can't narrow it down to that spot except by violating civil rights.

Dude...

It's 2025.

If you think the US government can't tell who was on a street at a certain time and then search everyone's cell phones and track where they've been to narrow it down to a very small number of people...

I dunno what to tell you.

The sun also rises each morning and sets at night. And Tuesdays usually follow Mondays.

The same would apply for all trials of murder.
