This needs a well funded, aggressive, appeal. This is more of the tyranny of a partisan judicial system and an uninformed jury.
I’ve seen pamphlets like this. They explain that a juror has more power than the judge lets on. A juror DOES NOT have to obey the so called “rules” that a judge tells them. Most of these black robed thugs think they are the law.
Anyone stupid enough to think trial by jury isn’t anything short of a sham has forgotten how OJ Simpson went free after overwhelming evidence proved he was guilty of slitting the throats of two white people
How much power do juries really have?

The brochure in question in Michigan includes a statement from John Adams, who said of jurors, “It is not only his right, but his duty – to find the verdict according to his own best understanding, judgment, and conscience, though in direct opposition to the direction of the court.”
Judges generally "hate" such a concept. It detracts from their image, power, authority. And from their "I'm always right view of the law".
This was a threat to the power of the blackrobed bitch on the bench. The judiciary continues to rob US citizens of their rights and freedoms. Make no mistake these judges are vicious tyrants.
Slightly off topic, I always wondered about the concept of “jury by peers”. No where else in the constitution is “peers” used and words do seem to be important in that document as to be understood by laymen.
Note that it does not say a jury of “citizens”. A peer is someone of equal standing as I understand it.
So, for example, if you’re trying a financial crime, shouldn’t the members comprising a jury have some understanding of finance?
Using actual “peers” might be something that effectively achieves tort reform. People understanding insurance and medicine, for example, might not be so inclined to grant big awards for trivial circumstances or be able to differentiate honest mistakes from bona fide negligence or fraud.
Shameful
They like to say, "My courtroom." It isn't "their" courtroom, it's the people courtroom!
Our Courts DO NOT WANT fully informed Jurists— they want a Jury controlled by the Judicial system .We have the totalitarian government we deserve.
This guy will win on appeal and then can sue the judge and the cops who arrested him.
Normally a judge is not civilly liable for their actions, but in this case, he is the complaining witness so is action was not in his role as a judge.
You can quit posting everything to Frontpage.
Now.
Truth is tampering? Or are the pamphlets lefty disinfo to harm the trial by jury process?
Congress should pass a law mandating that this pamphlet be read to ALL JURIES before deliberation.
It's my opinion that we have become so divided as a nation that it's nearly imposable for us to reach a conseses on anything..! There are those who hate our country and our constitution and their numbers are increasing every year...
