Interesting, interesting, interesting, interesting.
I need the bootlickers to show up and tell me it's just coincidence.
The whole damn thing is a show. They are terrified. The book they usually play by isn't working. What will happen? The amount of support Luigi has is astounding. It's even a topic I tested the waters with at work and these people I work with make a decent living.
America is waking up. I feel it.
I genuinely think that they'll have a hard time finding an impartial jury.... I think that at this point, pretty much anyone who doesn't live under a rock has heard of him and has an opinion on whether he should be found guilty.
Regardless of which way you fall on that particular topic, you're biased, and that would exclude you from serving on the jury.
Correct. And I strongly suspect they are wildly pumping out news about him to narrow the juror pool to people who do live under rocks.
The other option is that jurors lie about their bias, which opens them up for legal consequences.
His defense, in any case, has a very difficult task - they need to be able to somehow communicate him being innocent against stacked charges OR paint him light that the rest of us see that leans them towards Jury Nullification.
My hope is that potential jurors hide their bias, which isn't easy, but gives him the best chance.
That's almost impossible to prove, and almost never prosecuted.
There are plenty of nevers and almost nevers with this case already, so it's not unreasonable to worry that there might be more.
They're trying to use fear to spin a story against this guy. They're going to use fear when telling them about lying under oath.
They're going to use fear the whole way, it's their only weapon.
It's why they are so afraid. A lot of us see through it, and see their real fear.
If they can find an "unbiased" jury, then the defense does indeed have a difficult challenge ahead. Even if the prosecution fails with their terrorism charge, they can fall back on murder 2, which is much harder to defend against.
Oh, I already have a simple solution to that.
I ain't seen nothin in that video.
Let's all do our best impression of Johnny tightlips whenever anyone with a badge or a gavel asks about Luigi.
"Hey Eddie, good to see ya. How's your mother?"
"Who says i got a mutha?"
"Tell 'im to suck a lemon."
