An incredibly powerful piece of persuasion, and incredibly uncomfortable (for numerous reasons).
100% Correct. I’m unbiased of course.
Also true.
And the final kicker is that they aren’t easily swayed by emotional tactics the prosecution might use. Someone spending their professional time dealing with difficult facts and analysis won’t give a flying crap for most sympathy plays or scapegoating attempts.
I mean yes… But the system is adversarial, so each team wants to win and believes in their “side”. A bit like political parties sometimes.
Personally I think this is perfectly fine. We all know the arguments for/against are made by teams who have an eye to ensuring their “win”, so they aren’t going to cover all grounds if they think they can focus on only a couple.
That doesn’t mean jurors should take leave of their faculties lol
No shit.
That’s what it should be, seeing how everyone on a jury should be a reasonable person. It’s obviously any remaining doubt in the mind of a reasonable person. If you’re on the jury and have any doubt, then the state has not met its burden. It just throws me when people start asking what the standard is for reasonable. Why do some people feel they need to be told what’s reasonable? It’s scary.
Because they haven’t even been able to clearly define what “reasonable” means in this context. What is it? The absence of a remote possibility(Denning)? A percentage? If so, how much? I think some Commonwealth countries have like an 85% surety. How do you quantify that lol?
I still don’t understand this whole BLM nonsense, what did George Floyd’s death have to do with him being black? I don’t see how this is a case of racial targeting or police brutality, Mr Chauvin used the correct procedures, he did not use any procedures that were deemed unorthodox. I also still don’t understand this “I can’t breath” nonsense. If you watch the full interaction Floyd states that he can’t breath before his ever put on the ground he actually asks to be put on the ground. In my personal opinion the only people who should be charged are the people who promoted this piece of propaganda in the media and all these major corps promoting BLM, they should all be charged for instigation and closed down and made to pay money to all the small businesses they destroyed, these garbage pieces of human filth have absolutely no shame. I’m also disgusted at how Trump dealt with the situation, instead of going on the offensive to destroy the media for good he went on the defensive like he always does and kept repeating how he “loves black people so much” as if anyone accused him of hating them. Just a complete cuckhold.
You must not be an American. Here, if something happens to a black(we say African-American for the same reason we call “white” people European-Americans…that might be wrong…) person it is because of his blackness.
We still say, “Hands up, don’t shoot,” as well.
The common term is whites and blacks. Blacks might call themselves African American but Whites never call themselves European-Americans, never ever heard someone use that term.
No says hands up don’t shoot wtf are you talking about…
But seriously, Zep: Why create a new “Jeff” name at the same time you get rid of the other one?
That’s about 50 people at most covered by some irrelevant local news channel, I never heard anyone chanting that when the riots were at their peak. The things I heard the most was “BLM”, “Black Lives Matter” and “I can’t breathe”.
I know you have some sort of illness that may prevent you from going out much: But try to educate yourself at least a little before posting, now that you’ve gotten yourself a new handle.
Why does it seem like the interest in a spike in anti Asian crime developed only after a sex addicted white man shot up some massage parlors. So far, it actually doesn’t look to be racial. But my gosh, the impression I get is that we just can’t have that. It’s too boring, I guess. Cold blooded murder is just too mundane without a racism angle. Racist murder is the really bad murder.
It started before that incident. Where have you been?
It was misogynistic.
I’m not saying there wasn’t interest. But it damn sure spiked with a white shooter.

There seems to be some increased interest probably due to certain videos making the rounds.
It couldn’t have anything to do with the fact it was… a mass shooting? It’s not like they happen every day…
Yep. A mass shooting. I’m not talking about interest in mass shootings though.
I’m talking about the ‘sexiness’ of the race angle. There is, still, a big focus on race with what appears to be a mass shooting by some sexual weirdo. A google search demonstrates as much.
Pulse nightclub vibe.
Given that the victims all share something in common, it would make sense. And is it far fetched to think a sexual, murderous weirdo could also be a racist?
I don’t believe they were all Asian.
And, I’m not aware of any correlation. Could be, bilirubin it would be new to me.
Edit: autocorrected to bilirubin…lol, leaving it for my personal amusement.

I mean, this is a pretty good representation. It doesn’t matter if race actually had any bearing on a motive. Notice how white supremacy comes up in connection to this and prior actual anti Asian crime? First, this incident doesn’t seem to have anything to do with white supremacy. And judging by the look of perpetrators in actual anti Asian hate/crimes caught on camera and making the rounds…Well, white supremacy can’t be the only thing at work here…I wonder if it is even a leading cause. Especially in certain urban areas.
There’s this “hey, even if it didn’t, we should still continue on as if it did” attitude. No.
