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.
That too... its hard to burn down homes and businesses with people shooting at you. So rude!
@Jojothegoodperson I wish i didnt, but yes :) I do live in the USA as well as the netherlands on and off.
Perhaps.. i mean we are seeing many people who claim to be anti-racist show a lot of racism towards whites... That said, honestly I find more often it is anti-racist whites who are racist against whites and most of the blacks and minorites are just like "shut the fuck up"
Yea he is already a pretty untrustworthy dude. But when he claime dit was a US marshal it was very easy to debunk and to pretty much be certain he was lying out of his ass.
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
@Jojothegoodperson USA I take it?
Yea I cant speak to when his authority to rule on that motion will end. I am just repeating what he said in court really.
There have always been and probably always will be racists. The best we can hope for is that there are fewer next year than this year.
Its plausible even though Jack was very clearly lying based on what he said.
@Jojothegoodperson It seemed to be a good take from where I'm sitting.
Ill repeat what i said here so its in thread for those following:
Jack Prosbiac demonstrated he was lying and uninformed when he made that claim. He claimed his source was a US marshal involved in the case. Problem is US marshals are in no way associated with state trials and even if they were they are never present in the room during deliberations.
So yea it was trivial to conclude Jack was either lying or just completely uninformed and lied to by someone.

Actually he didnt issue it or dismiss it. He said he would hold his judgement of if it is a mistrial with prejudice until the end of the trial. So he still has not decided on that motion.
Anytime there is a gun involved it is, doubly so when a protestor/rioter is on either end of that gun.
@Jojothegoodperson Oh you mean once they got here, due to racism, many immigrants became poor and uneducated. Yes on that we agree. The racism of the past put in motion a viscous cycle that is hard to break even now where racism is far less than it used to be.
To be fair the prosecution was so over the top that the judge slapped him down to size and threatened a mistrial with prejudice. So even the judge thinks the prosecution is playing games.
