    In the United States justice system, album hoarding offenses are considered especially heinous. The dedicated rappers who investigate these vicious felonies are known as the Wu-Tang Clan. These are their stories

    If u really wanted him in prison, surely u would just act like ur gonna be unbiased for the selection process and them BAM vote guilty when the time comes? I think these people are just trying get out of jury duty, which I also respect

  • this is why you’re supposed to lie and claim to be impartial, them you get on there and fuck some shit up.

    judge’s instructions don’t mean shit. jury nullification is awesome and cool. taking down rich people and corporations is hilarious. nailing cops to the wall is the lord’s work.

      I always was so confused when jury nullification was explained to me like it was some special secret menu item in the US legal system. When I realized it was literally just voting for the result u want regardless of the evidence, I was like wait that’s just what being on a jury is.

    This legal system is a joke. Their fucking job is to be partial, and pass a literal judgement. Having done your research on Shkreli means you will automatically hate his guts, unless you yourself share his disregard for human life. The purpose of this legal system is to filter those baseline reasonable people out so that only the cursed ones remain.

        seriously, if you’d be unable to judge impartially simply for having read a news article about the guy, how could you ever be impartial in your judgement when you’ve heard the same story from his team of top-notch defense lawyers?

        I had an idea for a rpg once about a near-future society where jury duty lasts like five years. Like they lock you in a bubble village and cut off all your access to the outside world so that when you go to sit on a trial you have absolutely no foreknowledge of what it’s about.
