I've been an alternate in the past.I was also part of a pool that couldn't seat a jury. That time, it was a <a href="https://beige.party/tags/criminal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>criminal</span></a> case, and the defense attorney said something that I will always remember. </p><p>The gis is that when a defendant gets off on a technicality, that is a euphemism for the prosecution not being able to make the case without violating the defendant's <a href="https://beige.party/tags/rights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rights</span></a>. </p><p>That's really important. The <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Constitution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Constitution</span></a> is not a technicality. It is what protects us from <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Government" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Government</span></a> overreach.</p>

Nonilex<p>Once he is sentenced, <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a>’s lawyers will have 30 days to file a statement indicating his intent to <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/appeal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>appeal</span></a>.

Murdoc Addams 🧛🏻:ri: 🇨🇦<p>I've just received summons for jury duty. Again. Yes, that means I'm freaking out. 😱 😱 😱 😱 </p><p>Last time I went through it was so much stress, it literally made me sick. I tried to push through it, convince myself that it won't be that bad, but it didn't work. Just too much anxiety. That on top of just plain disrupting my whole life for over a month, even having to recover after the fact. I didn't even get selected, but even that process was nerve-wracking. </p><p>I want to say something like I can't go because of being <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/actuallyautistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>actuallyautistic</span></a> or <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ActuallyADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyADHD</span></a> , but even if that might work I suspect I'd need some sort of official diagnosis, which I doubt that I could get in the next month before I have to go. I guess I'll have to do some research. 😫 </p><p>I don't suppose anyone has any suggestions for me?

Nashville Antifa<p>As fascist anti-trans and anti-drag bills have gained ground, it's more important than ever to talk about <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JuryNullification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JuryNullification</span></a> and ensure people know about it.</p><p>If you are called to be a juror, you have no obligation to declare someone guilty, EVEN IF you are certain they did it.</p><p>This is a built-in feature of the system that judges don't like to discuss. A jury can declare someone innocent simply because they disagree with the law.</p><p>As immoral, oppressive, and fascist laws targeting marginalized groups are being passed, we must remember this tool. Talk to people you know because the more people are aware of this, the more likely one of those 12 jurors will be too.</p><p>And remember, this doesn't have to be for the more extreme recent examples. Together we can stop bullshit life sentences for petty drug crimes and all manner of oppressions.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Jury" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Jury</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trial</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/US" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>US</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UK</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Justice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Justice</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TransRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransRights</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Solidarity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Solidarity</span></a></p>
