@AutumnRhodess You are constantly proving why we need to repeal the 19th and none of you should be on the internet. Stop using this case to chase clout.
Having a jury of “one’s own peers” is increasingly unlikely in modern America, which of course interprets “peer” in the most egalitarian sense possible — a human being drawn from the general population.
“Peer” was once properly understood as a title reserved for locally-engaged, intelligent men who could be reasonably trusted with the responsibility of delivering justice. It also deliberately excluded women, men without property or who didn’t pay taxes, etc. for obvious reasons.
It would be terrifying to be on trial and have your fate decided by a dozen people randomly selected from The American Population. Imagine delegating justice to the kind of person you’d bump into at the airport. I’d literally rather just flip a coin.
Lindsay Clancy is in a way lucky since she, as an insane and deeply narcissistic woman, seems to truly have a jury of her peers.
