Gingerlegs , in Brett Kavanaugh says justices are working on ‘concrete steps’ on ethics

Well I’m relieved!

bradorsomething , in Some small towns in America are disbanding police forces, citing hiring woes

“No one wants to harass black people any more.”

HipHoboHarold , in Brett Kavanaugh says justices are working on ‘concrete steps’ on ethics

Dracula and other vampires discuss the ethics on drinking human blood.

roguetrick , in Prosecutors Tell Judge Trump Election Crimes Trial Will Have Whopping 150 Witnesses — Take Four Months

I don't even see how a jury would follow something like that. It's a college course in the way of information overload.

tdgoodman ,

If Trump and his team could dream it up in far less than a month, mere mortals will be able to follow it. It’s not really all that complex. Just f*** over the election counting process in a variety of ways.

PetDinosaurs ,

There’s too much search engine garbage to find an original source, but PhDs, scientists, physicians, and attorneys (of course) are basically disqualified from jury duty.

Funny how demonstrating that you’re able to think for yourself with a degree disqualifies you.

roguetrick ,

I'm a nurse and was on a murder jury trial with a sheriff deputy. They're not allowed to ask your profession in voir dire. What you cannot do is provide expert testimony as a juror in deliberation. You are, of course, expected to use your experiences in your decision.

PetDinosaurs ,

They don’t ask your profession.

They ask things like your highest level of education or “if you use math at work”.

That last one got one of my colleagues immediately dismissed.

LastYearsPumpkin ,

They don’t want someone to start adding context or outside information during the jury deliberation. If you do, then the defense has no opportunity to argue against you.

They don’t want any additional discussion that could sway the case unfairly one way or the other.

PetDinosaurs ,

That is my understanding as well.

But that’s “lawyers vs justice”.

The jury is supposed to think for itself.

LastYearsPumpkin ,

No, you are supposed to be able to put up a defense.

Who’s to say the jury is correct? What if the specialist made an assumption that was wrong, shared it with the jury, and found a person guilty because they trusted this expert. Now you have no way of challenging this, and rebutting the assumption.

You DON’T want those “independent thinker” jurors you need them to only consider what’s been presented in the case. It’s the only way it can be fair.

PetDinosaurs , (edited )

Yeah. That’s why I’m disqualified from jury duty.

Everything you have just said (except for being able to put up a defense) insults me and my understanding of justice.

I don’t want the people who may eventually try me to behave like you’re saying.

That’s lawyers vs justice.

mrnotoriousman ,

I've had jury duty twice in NY. I'm educated and use math and programming in my work daily.

DrPop ,

I’ve got two jury duty summons so far and haven’t even made it to any form of interview. It may be due to my age at the times, but my job pays me for jury duty so I’ll gladly do my duty.

paysrenttobirds , in Walmart cuts starting hourly pay for some workers

Not like that!

At least they didn’t force passengers to disembark or sit on the soiled seats like Air Canada did

NightAuthor ,

Uh… what?

reddig33 , in Biden will nominate a former Obama official to run the Federal Aviation Administration

Ridiculous that it takes three years to get someone in office. Why does the senate get any say in these nominations?

@Heresy_generator@kbin.social avatar

Separation of powers. Imagine if Trump was just allowed to stack the federal government with whoever he wanted with no qualifications or oversight; we'd end up with shit like Secretary of State Don Jr., Attorney General Rudy, and Secretary of Defense Erik Prince or Stewart Rhodes.

Dejoy, but everywhere.

Boy, these charges of impropriety are sure creating a Devil’s Triangle of problems.
