If was good enough for the OJ jury.
BUT, the defendants are all white.
OJ rules do not apply.
The defendants don’t have a race card to play.
Is she screwing the case on purpose to get a verdict, kick it upstairs and out of her courtroom, figuring it will be adjudicated on appeal?
She knows the 9th circus will not overturn her.
This is the story of two people: One who has never had an honest thought in her life, let alone done an honest deed. Versus another individual who spent his life earning an honest living and supporting his family raising cattle. One has political influence and pull. One does not have political influence and pull. One sits in a jail cell. One is running around free as a bird spreading death and destruction far and wide.
Great injustice.
But remember the percentage of people who are acquitted in a Federal trial is exceedingly small. Nature of the beast.
Good post.
If I were president, I’d pardon each and every one of them. At its very worst regarding the events, this is a clash of a traditional and a contemporary culture.
Thank you.
I’ve been wondering why NO national media is reporting any of this.
It is self evident.
I would assume some of the federal appointees that are being stalled by congressional delays/inaction are hopefully headed to the 9th Circuit.
The appellate court won’t look much into the facts of the case but only the formatting. They might get lucky and an appeals court might give them a victory but an appeal to the 9th will likely squash that.
Trial courts have enormous leeway.
Part of the problem with resisting is you’re actively defying the law and then asking the arbiters of the law to excuse that act. That’s always a tough sell. There will likely be jail time for their actions. Not all rebellions end with the rebels winning, no matter their righteousness.
Mighty odd case management.

Did you ping on Twitter?
Like when AG Sessions comes to town and praises the prosecutors.
“Most defendants have been jailed without bail for a year and half.”
How is that constitutional? Americans are entitled to a reasonable bail and a speedy trial.
“The Bill of Rights are...”
The Bill of rights *is*. If you’re going to be on our side, don’t make us look like a pack of illiterates.

When a guy on our side is railroaded, we are concerned about the Bill of Rights.
But how many FReepers realize the number of innocent Blacks and Latinos in prison for exactly the same railroading?
The lawyer class serves the interests of the lawyers for the benefit of the lawyers... And the judge is a lawyer, in most cases vetted and put there by other lawyers.
Regardless of who the defendant is, the lawyer does not change his stripes.
> Judge won’t allow evidence that might have resulted in hung jury
You mean “exculpatory”?
