Democrat Jury Corruption

[TigerGrowls]

They have a system in place to protect them.and persecute their political enemies. Pure evil.



The idea of a jury trial is that it should be a jury of your peers. In Washington DC, however, it is a jury of indoctrinated leftists who have been trained from an early age by the government to lock up Republicans. We have seen this pattern play out for years, and it has become impossible to ignore in the J6 and Get Trump cases, as well as on the civil side, like the Mark Steyn case, where he was found liable simply for pointing out that the fake climate hockey stick graph is fake. Is anyone even thinking about addressing this, let alone taking any concrete steps, or is it all just ignored?

Do you actually think it’s harder to get a conviction in dc than in say Philly or Baltimore or ny?

this has little to do with some civics class. It has to do with who’s in the jury pool

Just as a fun contrast once, had a case in central pa (the Alabama part) where following conviction, the judge asked counsel if he was allowed to deviate upward from the sentencing guidelines range.

Its probably equally hard if I had to bet.

Why would a judge ask that question? If the judge is looking at a "sentencing guidelines range," the term "guidelines" suggests that it is not mandatory (i.e., not binding on the judge). If the judge is looking at a statute or some other sentencing material that sets fixed maximums on the sentence that can be handed out for a given criminal offense, then there would be nothing for the judge to ask about. ??

Agree with TG on this one.

Well, you are certainly correct on that from a technical perspective (ie, Congress sets the max), the practical reality is that if a judge deviates from the range specified in the federal sentencing guidelines, it starts to raise issues that could increase the chances of the case taking a trip to the CTA, and most judges very much like the concept of finality when it comes to their docket.
