Dutch human rights activist, Olax Outis had no “lawful defence” and was stopped from give a closing speech – but was acquitted by the jury in a verdict seen as a snub to a system complicit in Genocide.
You, too, are welcome to go and read a Wikipedia article or textbook about why we have juries. I replied originally because the article was bad and because people don’t seem to consider why you might keep stuff from a jury. Having done that, if people still disagree, they are welcome to criticise the English legal system and its ordinary justifications without getting me to copy and paste them.
If you can’t justify it, I’m obviously not going to change my mind. I’ve read many books and done my own thinking. I’m sure it’s a huge surprise that someone could have thought about something and come to a different conclusion than you
You’re welcome to go and read a Wikipedia article or textbook. I’m not going to do your work for you. Tired of explaining and justifying my position and I’ll imply others are ignorant instead
This is boring. I think everything you’re asking is pretty obvious from what I’ve written if you actually try to understand. I won’t be replying to you any more.

Juries shouldn’t only decide on what the law says and the facts, but also on their sense of justice applied to a specific case.
No, I won’t justify my answer. Go read a book

He sent me to Wikipedia, I did his work for him, and then he said he wanted to be convinced some more. 😜
You’re not listening:
Piss off if you’re not going to read what I write.
You think you’re the only one who reads books and does their own thinking?
No.

Thanks for nothing, at least you realize that now.
