Comment on YSK about Jury Nullification, if you're an American and you don't, look it up.
Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 3 days agowe want jury nullification to come from individual conclusions that this law does not apply despite the circumstances, and not because they know they can.
There is an ongoing shift towards fascism, and at least for now the courts still have power over whether or not people get to walk free.
So there is more to it than your letting on. We’re gonna see cases of people who have done illegal things because the fascists in power decided to make existence defacto illegal for people.
An example of this is the bans on transgender people from using bathrooms other than their assigned sex. If I’m ever a juror on a case like that, I’m fucking voting not guilty, and everybody else should too.

Or it will be used to let fascists off, because their supporters will vote fucking not guilty and say that everyone else should too.

Yeah, that’s why you don’t share this with fascists.
And for the most part, it’s generally not the case that fascists find themselves in the hot seat, because their buddies are cops, or themselves are cops. The rule of law was never truly applied to them in the first place.
