To: null and void

What, are you talking about judgment non obstante veredicto? Yeah, we have that. But the standard is pretty high. It's hard to pull off, and likely to be overturned on appeal. Especially if used against a criminal defendant.

This one happened to be a bunch of disabled ex-cops suing the city for ADA violations and wrongful termination.

IIRC they won. Since I wasn't empaneled I don't know the particulars of the case. For all I know it was a fair application of a fair law, with clear evidence.

I'm just annoyed and offended that Hiz Onner saw fit to set the stage by intimidating the entire jury pool.
