You realize as a juror, your job isn't to kowtow to the state. You're literally the last bulwark between said state and your fellow man. If anything, ypu need to be picking hard at any case you get presented, especially if it smells like a political/railroad case.
- namelessoracle 4y agoI would argue holding this stance makes you a committed ideological actor that would get struck during selection if found out. Not saying i disagree with you....
- salawat 4y ago>committed ideological actor Implies "I made up my mind before going in." I'm more "Convince me that this man is the only person who could possibly have done what you allege." If they presented no compelling evidence that he did it, and as someone with technical understanding, I'd have questions to raise if things did not sufficiently add up. Sorry, deliberations will continue until either the prosecution or these other jurors get with the program I'm not putting someone away while I entertain a reasonable doubt.
