U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli wrote: “Apparently he thought it would be funny to interfere with our immigration enforcement operations. Now he can laugh behind bars while he faces justice. Nunez is looking at up to 10 years in federal prison if convicted.”
Essayli, acknowledged the outcome on Friday: “A jury found Mr. Nuñez not guilty. He was free on bond prior to the trial. We have no further comment.”
LOL get fucked fascists.
Apparently he thought it would be funny to interfere with our immigration enforcement operations.
I mean, he was right.
When you can't comprehend that jury nullification is a by product of our judicial system. It can be used for bad or good - see lynchings of the jim crow era vs those helping slaves escape.
This prick is the embodiment of the fascist belief that the law has in groups that it does not bind but protects and our groups that bind but do not protect.
This is literally 100% the reason why a jury of your peers exists.
The founding fathers went through a system where dipshits like Stephen Miller could just make up whatever they wanted, and the people had no role, and they fought a whole war to cancel that system. They knew exactly what was up with it.
Edit: If, by some chance, you wind up on a jury where this comes up, just pretend you've never heard of it. Even having heard the term, or understanding the concept, will almost certainly get you disqualified from the jury. You can do the exact same process of deciding that it's a bunch of bullshit that whatever person is being accused of whatever when it's pretty obvious that they were not the one in the wrong, without it being called "jury nullification." It's just justice, it's just common sense, like I said it is the whole intent of having a jury.
The right wingers love to trot of the jury nullification on lynching becuase it's the only version that can relate with.
The vehicle was blocking a driveway, and it was towed a block away. ICE was back in that car less than 15 later.
10 years in prison is way overkill for that.
10 minutes in prison would have been overkill.
So you're saying the guy was just doing his job? Towing illegally parked vehicles?
The first few minutes and any rough treatment or insults was more than enough for uh, doing his job.
The rest of the 10 years is a "you have disrespected The Party and The Race" bonus.
Jury nullification isn’t illegal lmao you fucking fascist crybaby.
WAHHHHHH WAAHHHHHH PEOPLE HAVE RIGHTS WAHHHHH
Pee Wee Himmler better get used to lots and lots of jury nullification. It's probably why this little asshat is trying to get away with disappearing people with no trial - he hates and despises We, The People.
Jury nullification is the real reasons juries exist. Pass all the corrupt laws and appoint all the corrupt justices you want. As long as we still have trial by jury we have a check on power from the citizens.
This is why I hate people who say they hate being on a jury.
You have the most direct access to affect your society in a jury box than you do at the ballot box.
I live in Texas. Jurors are paid $20/day with no reimbursement for expenses, and employers aren't required to pay employees on jury duty (though mine does).
So yeah - people hate it.
Also while I would like to be a jury it can be brutal. I had a friend that did grand jury once for 6 months. They were being constantly shown murder scene photos and other graphic imagery. I'd imagine that would bother some people
My state does it. My employer didn't. And the courthouse was a long way away.
Except in most places you have to suffer financial hardship in order to exercise this ability
Juries exist to determine facts, and check the work of the prosecutor to make sure they proved the case to the standards required by law. They are an essential part of the legal process, and the possibility of nullification is an interesting byproduct.
This case was not nullification. He was charged with theft for towing a car, which is not theft anywhere, and is standard practice for tow truck operators. The vehicle was returned less than 20 minutes later.
Not guilty was a reasonable conclusion, not a case of a jury nullifying an otherwise solid case.
Cotizen juries absolutely exist for jury nullification. Otherwise it would be better to have professionals who are experts in the law making the rulings like judges do in most civil cases.
I don't think the person you're replying to is disagreeing with you, they're just pointing out that in this case, the jury didn't have to nullify an existing law for the tow truck driver to be found not guilty.
I was in a jury recently, and they were clear in the instructions that we were to make decisions on the basis of the law as it is, not one what we think it should be. Some of the questions during jury selected were specifically tailored to identifying those who might consider nullification.
Juries still exist in civil cases. They are there to make findings of fact, just like a criminal case. Bench trials are those without a material dispute of the facts.
Nullification is a side effect, a consequence of the process. Nullification is not the primary reason for a jury.
They tell you to only consider the law as written, but that doesn't make nullification illegal or improper. They just don't like it.
Their duty as civil servants is to uphold the law as written. Challenging laws as unjust is the duty of the citizenry.
a judge can issue a judgment notwithstanding the verdict (JNOV) if they determine that no reasonable jury could have reached the verdict based on the evidence.
So while it is rare the judge can still fuck everyone involved in the case no matter what the jury says.
freedom
In a criminal case, a judge can only overturn a guilty verdict.
Unfortunately, he didn't literally melt.
OK, well, he is a melt, but that's different.
so what if it is "blatant jury nullification"? that's not illegal.
One of my goals in life is to personally cause Stephen Miller to have a melt down.
All you have to do is feed him some garlic or throw some holy water on him and he'll be a puddle within a minute
Rich and powerful love using loopholes, until poor people get to use them too.
Then they get mad.
Video from the scene showed federal agents chasing the truck as it pulled away, before arresting Nuñez and leading him away in handcuffs.
Where is the follow up court case where they pay this guy a couple million for assault and false imprisonment.
The American taxpayers are good for it.
Stephen Miller has erupted at “blatant jury nullification”
Jury nullification is entirely legal and built into the American justice system. Jury decision to nullify is final and protects from unjust application of laws. Cry about it, Nazi.
"Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that."
I believe the US populace is starting to think of ICE as injustice and automatically nullify.
We're starting to lose faith in every single branch and service of government, which is a dangerous spot to be in. It will mean we allow industry and the rich to gain even more control than they already have.
That's always been the fundamental misconception by everyday people who are conservatives. They got it in their head that less government meant the power relinquished by government reverted to them when it fact that power goes to the wealthy or the organized. On the right, the wealthy always lead the organized.
The only thing I want coming out of Stephen Millers mouth is the executioners bullet after that Nazi ghoul is tried and sentenced for his crimes against humanity.
Dear Jesus Christ, will you & Santa figure out a way to bring senor miller a healthy dose of some incurable type of cancer this holiday season? A go fund me can be set up if’n ya’ll need $’s for incentive to get ‘er done.
If the goal is to make sure that trial results are based solely on the facts of the case and the letter of the law, then we would have juries composed of lawyers and other experts. We don't though. We have juries made up of randomly selected citizens. There is no logical reason to have a trial by a jury of your peers other than to make it possible for your peers to protect you from unjust laws. If this was a case of jury nullification, then it's a case of our justice system working as intended.
every federal case should end in nullification until trump is gone.
If Steven Miller got an aneurism over his anger, this would be even better.
It's always the same with these guys:
When they're winning, it's ruthless and relentless, everything you get is your fault, and you're a fool and a dipshit if you don't get on board.
As soon as things start not going their way, they start the waterworks. It's all unfair, it's horrible, how could people be so mean to us. Don't they believe in all of our common humanity? How could they?
Good, throw that tantrum hard.
And I hope the acquitted man sues for wrongful prosecution.
Miller really leads into the comically evil look.
as to
“blatant jury nullification”
Well its not illegal. So he can take "blatant" and shove it up his rear. It should be used more often, considerinbg the shitty state the court system is in and the hand he had in making it so bad. He really needs to shut his stupid piehole.
Stephen Miller, you are absolutely unlovable, aren't you? But that's just you, you don't want a hug, you want your pants around your ankles in front of a thousand ovens ablaze.
The world will be much better when your kilogram and a half of potassium is returned to agriculture.
Stephen Miller only melts down. That's his default mode.
That guys inner monologue must be the most pitiful shit.
