This is why judges have to stress to juries that pleading the fifth or opting not to testify is not an admission of guilt. I considered it redundant when I served on a jury, but your comment has changed my mind. I now wonder if the judge should have said it more often.
- indubitable 9y agoNot just his comment, but the fact it was at +9 before getting censored. There's definitely a lot of mob mentality when it comes time to find somebody to blame, and that's very dangerous.
- CodesInChaos 9y agoNearly all comments on the linked article share this comment's sentiment, with quite a few asserting that refusal to cooperate means that he deliberately triggered a false alert. Interesting contrast to here, where most comments agree on blaming the process/system and that shutting up to avoid incriminating yourself is the proper response, regardless if it was an innocent mistake.
