    But seriously, lie and stay on the jury, then acquit.

    Chuds do a really good job and lying to say they can be “neutral” and “fair” and then always convict.

      IANAL but lying in jury hearings is perjury so never admit to it.

      Every young radlib must go on a journey to liberal mountain and see the spirits who dwell there, who will reveal the random combination of emojis they put next to their username and fight over.

        Lmao the big cock is only metaphorical here. The verdict of a jury has to be unanimous. If everyone cannot agree on a verdict it's called a "hung jury," meaning the accused cannot be convicted. I believe the result is a mistrial, and the accused is free to go

      This is my plan if I ever get picked. I don't care what the crime is or how bulletproof the evidence seems, the American court system is not justice.

        And even if it was somehow justice (it's not), the US prison system is monstrous, practices torture, and is against basic fundamental human rights.

      Yep and if the jury gets hung and everyone gets mad at you for voting not guilty and dragging it out, you keep up vague plausible reasons why you think there’s reasonable doubt

      I was in a similar but less showy situation, and I like to think it broke the spell a little bit with jurors otherwise feeling like they had to declare their fealty.

          Of course, but I was trying not to lie while still reminding people who might end up on the jury that the cops might be full of shit and it was okay to take that into consideration.

    pulling a public stunt like this seems pretty :LIB: to me

    now some conservative guy who is 'unbiased' against cops is going to be in the jury instead

      I mean, if this anecdote is to be believed, he's under oath, who knows what kind of whacko pro-cop questions the DA was asking. If he lies about his beliefs he could wind up on the stand himself - he could have also been a coward but spoke his mind instead

        You could easily plausibly deny that you have a bias against cops unless...your entire personality and web presence is #ACAB

        If he knew he'd be disqualified for other reasons, at least this dialogue puts ACAB to the forfront of anyone in that room that does make it to the jury.
