But a courtroom in Georgia or Washington DC is not a sympathetic venue. If you say “Look at this video! That’s Ruby Freeman! See? She’s moving a box!!!! Doesn’t that look funny to you?”
I don’t think too many courts are going to consider this compelling.
Well you are speaking the absolute truth here. The decisions of a court are entirely based on *WHERE* the court is, and *WHO* is the Judge and Jury in it.
This is why I get so disgusted with people who talk about having respect for "the law", as if the ridiculous gyrations of our legal system are worthy of any sort of respect.
Guilt or innocence is very often not a consequence of what any law says, but instead is a product of the biases of the Judges and Juries which have these cases placed in front of them.
It is a crap shoot when there is no political bias, and I have seen many cases of idiot decisions by both judges and juries.
The system is broken. The System is garbage and people should stop having any respect for it.
DA Fani Wills can indict a ham sandwich using hand picked grand jury from Fulton county.
