All the idiots from Twitter University are coming out of the woodwork ont he case. My feed is filled with morons talking about "mistrial with prejudice" who have clearly no clue what that means or when it is applied. I really need to stay the fuck away from Twitter.

@freemo I cant believe some people think he is a hero and on the other side to think that when getting drop kicked and have a gun pointed at him wouldnt provoke him to shoot. I feel sad for him cause he probably did go out with vigilante justice in his mind but is just a child in this crazy world and so are all the other nut cases.

@twotwenty I mean, he objectively is a hero considering who he shot. And in self-defense at that.

@freemo

@NEETzsche the narrative banks highly on selling the story that he engineered it so he would get to 'self defense' someone.

binger has basically failed to provide any evidence for this though. their closing rebuttal amounts to corncob literally saying "people take a beating sometimes."

@twotwenty @freemo

@icedquinn This case will not be decided on the facts but on the politics of the jurors.

@freemo @twotwenty

@NEETzsche @freemo @twotwenty they've already got protestors outside the court house and are threatening witnesses and jurors so i would say they believe there is a credible threat of a not guilty verdict.
@freemo all we know is "jack prosobic's source" reported there are two hung jurors citing backlash. (which is why i marked it 'unverified')

@NEETzsche @twotwenty

@icedquinn

It’s super plausible though, leftist stormtroopers have been doing that for years now, and all eyes are on this trial. It’s almost impossible that somebody somewhere isn’t threatening to do this, the real question is whether they have genuine intent and capability.

@NEETzsche @freemo @twotwenty

@ademan

Its plausible even though Jack was very clearly lying based on what he said.

@icedquinn @NEETzsche @twotwenty

@freemo @ademan the prosecution doesn't seem to understand how to go for an hour without breaching court conduct, so :comfyshrug:

@NEETzsche @twotwenty

@icedquinn

Yea honestly the prosecution seemed to be acting kinda emotional and unhinged. At least, while trying to hide it under a thin veil of professionalism

@NEETzsche @twotwenty @ademan

@freemo The prosecution’s melting down was hilarious. That doesn’t entail a not guilty verdict in a highly politicized nation, though. It means basically nothing, honestly.

@icedquinn @twotwenty @ademan

@NEETzsche

All I know is if the jury was comprised of 12 truly objective people we would have had a verdict back after 15 minutes of not-guilty.

@icedquinn @twotwenty @ademan

@freemo Which means the fact that they took the whole day is evidence that they have a MUH STATE LINES Karen on the jury.

No one can really say if it will be a hung jury, but the longer it goes on the more likely that is to be true.

That said if it is a hung jury then that would mean that it is a mistrial **without** prejudice. That would mean whatever verdicts they didnt agree on (and thus are hung on) would have to undergo a retrial.

@freemo @icscarythings @icedquinn @NEETzsche @twotwenty @ademan

How many times can an American citizen go through retrails because the system is incompetent/broken?
@Laconicif indefinite AFAIK but DA's only get their brownie points for convictions so it's in their best interest to throw out a cushy plea agreement rather than try to justify to their boss how they want to try the case for the sixth time
