@JFGariepy Very disturbing, I keep hearing about this lately. I’ve also heard though that the higher performers seem to mostly not be affected. It’s just the bulk of the students around the mean that are taking a nosedive and pushing the averages down.
@YounisJoseph This makes you appreciate the fact that the single juror managed to hold his own against those 11 gullible others so much more. We were so close to a person getting away with three murders, just coz she cynically played the “poor woman” card.
Five minutes to midnight, fellas.
@YounisJoseph@VChristianus The societal implications of this alone (successfully using mental condition as a defense), which this would carry for the cynical, opportunistic criminals among us, should make us disregard these factors when it comes to sentencing.
@PhenomzdaGreat@LoganAnfieldL4@EndWokeness C) it’s just a cold, calculated tactic to remove him and force their way
As far as I know, we don’t have the info yet to know which it is. Personally I’d bet on C but there’s no way to know yet.
I’m done with this - you’re too stubborn, just “arguing not to lose”…
@PhenomzdaGreat@LoganAnfieldL4@EndWokeness As for whether the pressure they’re putting on the lone holdout guy is legit or not - it could be any of:
A) they can prove the guy is really not obeying the law (votes guilty despite being aware of reasonable doubt)
B) they are ignorant to the fact that he’s convinced beyond RD
@PhenomzdaGreat@LoganAnfieldL4@EndWokeness For some reason you keep ignoring that jury’s note. You don’t have to keep arguing with me about it - just look around. It’s being reported everywhere that exactly what I’m saying is taking place.
Check this out for example - the defense’s lawyer says it…

@PhenomzdaGreat@LoganAnfieldL4@EndWokeness Breaking the law is not the ONLY way that you could know the votes. Sometimes you can infer it from the notes that the jury communicates through. That’s exactly this case - the implications of what they said in the note cannot be interpreted in any other way than 11:1 not guilty.
@LoganAnfieldL4@PhenomzdaGreat@EndWokeness I’m not saying that there is or that there isn’t, I’d need to be at the trial to know that. Just saying what the jury claims.
@PhenomzdaGreat@LoganAnfieldL4@EndWokeness …one guy is voting guilty and the rest of the jury is convinced that he’s deliberately ignoring the reasonable doubt that there is and which he also must have. That is why they complain about it in their note.
@PhenomzdaGreat@LoganAnfieldL4@EndWokeness When the jury’s note says “a single one of us is refusing to adhere to the rule about reasonable doubt”, what do you think that it means? (The rule is that you cannot vote “guilty” if you have reasonable doubt about the guilt.) I won’t keep you guessing, it means that [1/2]
