That case is way too political. Common sense has gone out of the window there.

Every time they ever move him around every cop in the area always seems to need to be involved. It's not like he's accused of slaughtering an entire precinct with nothing but his bare hands or anything, supposedly he shot one person with a gun that he obviously no longer has. I'm really not sure why they treat him as Hannibal lecter.

Good point. If I'm not mistaken, court juries can still pass a jury nullification for Luigi Mangione, right?

Requiring a grand jury for a case of vandalism is ridiculous in and of itself.

It's completely different from a trial jury though. They usually only meet once or twice a week. Sometimes a couple times a month.

It can cut both ways though, it was used in the South in favor of racists.

Though this happened with the grand jury, which only needs a majority vote (sometimes a supermajority). It means a lot of people chose to nullify or didn't trust the prosecution to give a fair trial.

The us justice system is already fucked up and make a joke lf the term justice.

Any justice system actually. Common law especially though.

I just heard about a prosecutor that didn't get all of his indictments and then sent the jurors that voted against him home and replaced them. That and other stuff, they aren't even pretending to follow the rules, they think everything is more openly corrupt than it is yet.

But anyway, the courts threw out like 200 indictments because this prick prosecutor didn't think he had to follow the rules/didn't know or care what the rules were.

I want to know who the two cunts that down voted this are...

Come to think of it, how accurately can facial recognition tell apart to people who look very similar?

Curiously, when I was drafted into jury duty here in California, we were shown a video that said something like The people are society's last line of defense against bad law.

I took it personally, figuring it was my duty to not enforce any law that was unjust or protect any institution that was cruel. But I didn't get selected.

For once yes. Grand Juries at the time of the Constitution were a safeguard against arbitrary and unjust prosecutions. The rulers have since changed what a grand jury is to make it the opposite, a tool of the prosecutors.

Luckily the prosecutors for this administration are so arrogant and incompetent they haven't been able to maintain that facade of trustworthiness which the masses still afford to dickheads in suits with position.

Of course the judges are so bad it often doesn't matter, especially when it's in a shitholy jurisdiction, like those protesters at the Texas Ice that got kangarooed by their dipshit hanging judge down there under preposterous, blatantly unconstitutional charges, cancelling the 1st amendment.

It could be that the software isn't accurate enough to be evidence on its own. Similar to how identifying someone in a lineup is notoriously inaccurate. They may be able to use it for probably cause in a search warrant, but without other supporting evidence, they may not have a case.
