    They are struggling so hard to find somebody who doesn’t know anything about what happened and why.

    He can’t get a “fair” trial because the corporations have screwed everyone over for pure profit. Only people who haven’t been screwed over are the rich. It’s a show trial that will convict and demand the death penalty because how dare the rich faces consequences.

    If there’s someone out there that hasn’t heard about this case, I don’t think they should be allowed on the jury either. They’re obviously incapable of paying attention to anything

    “Neutral” jurors, of course, crucially being ones both 1. ok with corpos killing regular people and 2. not ok with regular people killing corpos.

    Gee seems like every American has experienced a moment of wishing they could get revenge on an insurance company and then took in interest in the case where a hero did. Weird that.

      I haven’t had an experience like that with anyone I’m close with, but I’m still pissed the fuck off at them because a) I could and b) I have empathy for the many people who have. So they just need to fill the jury with people without empathy.

    So what happens when they can’t find a jury? Had there ever been a case of that in U.S. history?

      There’s always someone, although they might struggle with the whole “his peers” thing if it’s basically just a bunch of mennonites.

    The idea of “neutral” long ago hit an iceberg and is sinking into a grim experience of mass suffering, this is really less an economic and policy issue now and more of a weird rhetorical contortion of a war against the average USian into abstract terms that disguise the fact that a war is going on.

    It just says a jury of peers.

    If a cannibal is on trial you can’t call a jury impartial because none of them are cannibals, or based on the fact that they all think cannibalism is disgusting. Form the jury up, and let’s get this Jury Nullification party started.
