Which might not exist depending on the jury's job. See a few recent of the recent cases were a jury decided to not indict police officers for killing blacks based on citations from the law given by the DA/SA which were "accidentally" wrong.
No defense involved.
- ckozlowski 11y agoIndictments are different. There's no defense because no one's been charged. (high profile cases aside, this is to keep the potential accused from even being mentioned because no charges have been given.) So it's entirely a matter of determining if there's enough cause to go to trial. Once at that stage, then the person becomes an accused, and defense becomes involved.
