Ah, classic mistake. The grand jury would have indicted the ham sandwich but they made the mistake of trying to prosecute the guy who threw it instead.
As they start trying to crank up the fascism hopefully we’ll see more of this and jury nullification pushing back against these constitutional violations.
We’re officially in the year 1774… One of the big catalysts for the American revolution was American juries refusing to convict, so King George (who ruled by decree) suspended jury trials and began shipping accused to England to face trial there instead.
So how long until King Trump writes an executive order (cough decrees cough) that suspends jury trials?
