‘Your honor, the jury requests to see the defendant shirtless to verify if he really is the shooter’

Make sure you email this tip to his lawyer once he has one

If you live in NYC, you better be reporting to jury duty to get on this man's trail!!! NOT GUILTY!

I'm not sure how much "not guilty" is possible in what is a clear case of murder. Nullification, however.

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 25 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I mean for nullification you'd have to say not guilty.

And you bet your ass jurors are going to be asked if they know about jury nullification or want to do it, probably in like 10 different ways.

Either he will take a plea deal or he will be “suicided”. No way this comes in front of a jury.

No one rioted for Epstein because no one liked Epstein. If they suicide this guy, there's going to be a much, much bigger LA Riot situation happening.

[–] Eatspancakes84@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Yes but riots are good for the elite. The media will blame the rioters, and most voters will agree or not care. Look at what happened to BLM. Do you think that helped the cause?

I think the issue with riots is the ability of the rioters to control the narrative. For instance, Trump was able to eventually control the narrative around Jan 6, through Fox News and non-traditional media, and so this riot did not end up hurting him. But the left does not have such an ecosystem, and so riots/protests are always interpreted for the left, instead of by the left.

I think this challenge is difficult to overcome, and in any case I am absolutely sure that the people in charge (especially when Trump takes power), believe in their ability to shape the narrative. they will be much happier with riots than with a calm trial in which the jury acquits.

We had a series of riots in France the elite were not super stoked about.

[–] Eatspancakes84@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yes but in France the elite does not control the narrative the way it does in the US. BLM were mostly peaceful protestors against police violence. Yet, a Fox News viewer only saw the few violent excesses.

Why would they suicide him? Epstein could name names. What’s this guy gonna do?

[–] Eatspancakes84@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Let’s assume a jury trial does happen. The murder is pre-meditated so the DOJ will have to demand capital punishment. Now consider the case where the jury does not convict. What happens to the lives of CEOs (I.e. the members of the Trump cabinet)? That’s a crazy risk to take.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

will have to demand capital punishment? no, murder 1 is not automatic capital punishment.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

Not guilty on ground of necessity.

Self defense ( he killed me, I killed him back ) and deminished capacity ( coverage denial panic or coverage denial derangement syndrome ) are the first two that come to mind.

Most of the time the courts don't take necessity defenses seriously, even when they are super valid. But sometimes when the defendant is white and has money or prominence, and the victim is not well liked it pops up now and again.

Case in point, when Dan White shot and killed Harvey Milk and George Moscone in 1978.

I just grew boobs and my penis and testicles reverted into girl bits. I am now pregnant with triplets (to be named Mario, Wario and Waluigi). Thank you based Luigi, you saved me hundreds of thousands in expensive surgeries. Gobbless.

The biggest advantage is not having to fight your insurance company for all those changes.

He is fucking ripped , the anonymous adjuster was already popular with women but here that's will be an other level. If he is imprisoned bro will be flood by letters.
