That's been obvious since the beginning.

Juror #2 an "investment banker" who gets all their news exclusively from
TrumpTruth social andElontwitter. The red hat is there to save the day, hang the jury on some nonsense to protect the cult leader.If I'm wrong, and the jury convicts, point to this thread and I'll donate $25 to charity.
The observers in the court won't say who it is, but I guarantee its that one.
Edit: I have chosen Special Olympics Canada as the charity.
Edit2: I was wrong, I will make that donation tonight and post the blurry receipt
To balance it out and give to charity regardless of the outcome, I'll donate $50 if you're right. That way there's always something good happening even if it may be small.
Right on
Nah. Most jurors are paying attention to the evidence. Trump supporters aren't the lone rebels they think they are. There's literally a mountain of evidence and the prosecutor's closing argument was 6.5 hours long (not including breaks).
Every other person in that jury room is going to want to go home and won't put up with someone stopping them. Even if this dude tries anything (he probably won't), he's going to crack by day 3.
I bet we see a guilty verdict for at least some of the charges within 3 days.
You won the bet, good on ya.
If you are right I will donate $25 worth of Monopolowa to my stomach.
Edit: convicted lol I donated the Monopolowa anyway skål or should I say dzięki or would it be prost fuck it cheers!
does lemmy have a RemindMe bot?
This is why there are alternates, tho. If the judge says the evidence is there to convict then the jury doesn't have a choice. If one juror is a holdout they just get replaced by an alternate.
Um. This is entirely inaccurate. I think you may have been misled.
The judge is the arbitor of law (only) during the guilt/innocence phase. The jury is the arbitor of fact (only). Only the jury can determine what the facts of the case are, not the judge. In this way, only the jury can determine if sufficient factual evidence exists to fulfill the elements of a crime.
Alternates take the place of jurors who leave (usually for health or family emergency), but jurors cannot be asked to leave because of their decisions in deliberation.
Are the votes of the jury generally revealed?
No.
Well done!
I had saved this thread! Woo hoo! Glad you pulled through with your promise.
