Why is Jury Nullification a Thing, But You Can’t Talk About It in Court?

Jump

  • When a jury is unable to reach a decision, what are the things that can then potentially happen?

  • I think you misunderstood my previous comment then because that's what I was referring to.

  • A hung jury is not the same thing as a not guilty verdict.

  • All 12 only have to agree on guilt. Just one is enough to prevent a guilty verdict. Although unless all 12 vote not guilty the prosecution can potentially still run a new trial with a fresh jury.

    • Can someone recommend me a wireless headset?

  • I bought the Arctis 5 back in 2020 and its been solid. I've used it for meetings basically every work day since then and it is still going strong, never had any issues. I agree about the audio quality not being the greatest, its fine for voices but not good for music.

    • Zelenskyy expects ‘strong steps’ from US if Russia rejects ceasefire

    Jump

  • It's meant to apply pressure. Failing to provide a strong response would mean that Trump is weak. He is both stroking Trumps ego and subtly poking it at the same time.

    • Who's Trudeau bringing to the next White House sit down?

    Jump

  • Trailer Park Boys

    • Zelenskyy offers to step down in exchange for peace and Ukraine’s Nato membership

    Jump

  • Until the Russian government gives up on imperial conquest of other nations, yes.

    • What would happen if Americans stopped buying new consumer goods for a month?

    Jump

  • Yes. Or if everyone paid the monthly bills late on purpose at the same time. They stay rich because money flows through us to them. Demonstrating the power to disrupt that flow is going to send a message. The challenge obviously is in building and organizing a mass movement capable of taking coherent and targeted actions like these. You need a lot of people participating to have an impact.

    • How would you explain to a date that you have an abusive family and you're the only sane person?

    Jump

  • I would just keep it vague but honest. Everyone knows someone with a shit family or has one themselves, and you don't owe anyone details. People will pick up the situation without you having to get into it and anyone worth being in a relationship with isn't going to care how shitty your family is except to be angry at them on your behalf.

    • Up for it; down for it. Same thing

    Jump

  • You can also be up for it until you're over it, then you're not down for it.

  • Colder. If you want it hotter that would be turn up the heat.

    • TIL, Reddit blocks VPNs since last march.

    Jump

  • They want to pump up the number of new accounts and/or monthly active accounts by any means necessary now that the stock price depends on it.

    • What's the weirdest defense you've seen used to justify belief in God?

    Jump

  • Mountains exist.

    • What was your earliest experiences with the Internet like?

    Jump

  • A local BBS got internet service so I poked around with gopher and lynx. I remember it being slow, there was lots of waiting for things to load.

    • DOGE Is Hacking America | The U.S. government has experienced what may be the most consequential security breach in its history.

  • There's still supposed to be the rule of law. If you hire someone to housesit for you and their ketamine addled boyfriend shows up to trash the place and steal your shit, there's going to be a problem. You hired someone to housesit, whatever is going on beyond that is not legitimate.

    • First time I hear about the Boox Palma, a phone-sized E-reader with Android and the Play Store, does anyone have it?

    Jump

  • Sure.

    • What are some tech products that you want that you can't seem to find?

    Jump

  • A phone with current hardware but without a camera notch in the screen. I absolutely hate the notch, it annoys me on a deep level that I can't get over.
