No such thing. Ask away!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

Jurys are just people who aren't firmiliar with the court system. I'm not firmiliar with the court system, but one thing I do know is that it's NOT legal for the prosecution to claim a defendant confessed to police interigation, unless he actually did confess. HOWEVER what they don't tell you is that it IS legal to police to interigate you until you confess to anything. Some interigations, in one room, can go on for 70 hours. Imagine being in one room, being asked over and over if you did the crime. You know you didn't, but you've been in this same interigation chamber for almost a week. No windows. No clocks. No toilet. No food. No water. Just waiting for a confession.
I know thats legal, but most other people don't. So I give zero credibility to "he confessed". The first question I'd ask is "how long was he held in custody?"
Because another thing they do, is they might interigate you for 8-12 hours. Then put you in a holding cell. Then interigate you again for 8-12 hours the next day. Then back to the holding cell. With no limits in place on how long you're held.
Most people just hear "he confessed", and thats it. Case closed. I've even heard of times that a crime happened in the 70s, guy was interigated, claimed innocence, then confessed, served decades in jail, and then DNA testing technologies improved. Then they find out the DNA wasn't a match. He didn't do it.
Another thing they do is say "You can confess and serve 2 years, OR we can stack the deck, and you'll get a lifetime sentence." And now people confess to things they didn't do just to get the lighter sentence.
So, just for people reading this, it’s actually not legal to interrogate people that long. Cops rely on you not knowing your rights. The best thing you can do is demand a lawyer and shut the fuck up
Generally, they must get a warrant to arrest you; or put you in front of a judge for a probable cause hearing (ostensibly within 48 hours of arrest.).
Once you ask for a lawyer, the interrogation is supposed to end until one is provided. If they keep asking questions, keep asking for a lawyer and say nothing else. And remember, cops are allowed to lie about things.
So ask for a lawyer and shut the fuck up.
