  • Hey you're cool with the current regime and like genocide! What's it like being a genocide apologist?

    Edit: Taking potshots at people who I agree with and don't deserve it is bad form.

  • Never mind that California probably has more conservatives than most conservative states...

  • What is jury nullification and what does it mean for Luigi Mangione’s defense? | CNN

    Jump

  • As much as most people on the left want juries to nullify in cases of unfair or unjust laws, the reality is it mostly results in murderous cops going free and corporations getting free passes. Like I said in another comment, while jury nullification could be used to tackle unfair laws, the reality is you mostly end up with actual racists and actively harmful corporations not being held accountable. Jury nullification is itself not good or bad, but it's mostly used for bad. Frankly, I don't really love the jury system but that's a while bigger issue.

  • What is jury nullification and what does it mean for Luigi Mangione’s defense? | CNN

    Jump

  • No, juries are the triers of fact. Juries do not exist to make a determination as to whether the law is fair or not and are (usually) explicitly told this. They have to listen to the facts, decide what actually happened, and then whether the facts match the elements of whatever crime is being charged.

    I agree that getting a jury of twelve randomish peers is actually not the greatest system, but it's what we're working with. So in this paradigm, jury nullification is a huge problem because it's twelve random people just deciding not to enforce a law the rest of society (sort of) has said needs to be enforced. This in turn leads to white supremacists getting acquitted by juries after prosecutors proved beyond a doubt that the defendants committed the crime and the same happening with police that abuse their powers.

    It could end up working to protect civil liberties. But the reality is it mostly results in the status quo being upheld and/or actual criminals that need some kind of punishment being acquitted.

    Jump

  • Jury nullification is also why cops who murder people and klansmen get acquitted. It's not necessarily a good thing, just a quirk of the system.

  • US adds web and gaming giant Tencent to list of Chinese military companies

    Jump

  • While China is considered part of the global south, its economy is so massive and it is so influential globally it really shouldn't be.

    Edit: Also in China's case, that was the UK, not the US.

  • If he was trying to keep his clearance, then he would strive to avoid any appearance of mental health issues. Strictly speaking you're still encouraged to take care of your mental health, but you have no confidentiality in your mental health records if you have a clearance and certain psychological issues can be a cause to deny or revoke a clearance. Many clearance-holders opt to avoid therapy and other mental health treatments as a result.
