I got called for jury duty this week... They wanted me to participate in the persecution of someone who might have committed a victimless crime. dontsuemebro [dsmb] is down at the moment, but I'll edit this to add a link to my diary (dsmb is a scoop site for kuro5hin.org [RIP] refugees).
Edit: https://dontsuemebro.com/story/2016/12/1/52559/5084 https://dontsuemebro.com/story/2016/12/1/52559/5084 (I grabbed the link on my phone before moving to my keyboard for this post, and saw the dsmb webmaster's diary grumbling about having to move hosts, again. the site should be back up in a few hours, or by tomorrow...)
- pitaj 10y agoDid you accept? Jury nullification is a real thing.
- taxicabjesus 10y agoThe diary link is working now. I specifically addressed nullification. On the one hand, I wanted to throw a wrench in the system. On the other, I'm working on something in the same court that is exponentially more important to myself and a lot of other people. I couldn't jeopardize creating a reputation for myself as someone who thinks it's okay to make up his own rules. There's only a dozen judges (+/-), and I'm sure they talk.
