You can always hang the jury. I stopped fighting clean a long time ago. “The government does not meet it’s burden beyond a reasonable doubt in my opinion.” Are you going to support a fellow citizen being found guilty of a “crime” involving second amendment issues? One of our opportunities to change bad laws involves jury duty.
Consider 0bungle’s executive orders. Honorable principles are nice in the abstract, but let’s get real and employ Alinskyite tactics to swing the pendulum. End of rant. This probably doesn’t belong on UT, anyway.
I was called for jury duty several times in San Antonio. I was on a small-claims jury, man hadn’t paid the rent on his copy machine. Defendant didn’t show up, judge found for the plaintiff, let us go home.
As you say...
