This dude is a hero.
We need to be spreading the words "jury nullification" through out social media.
Where's the gofundme?
SIDE NOTE: DON'T GET SCAMMED!
Save your money, do your research. This guy will need the best lawyers and the best PR modern wage slaves can muster.
The least we can do!
But it starts with your dumb ass not blowing your load on the first thing to pop on some social media scam.
Be master, he needs you to do better here.
EDIT: there is still possibility it aint him... proceed with caution.
Pigs needed a body at this point, anything could be happening.
he will need best counsel and best PR, the working class social media idiots can muster imho
you have to understand what he just started and who his challenging.
if they can Epstein him, they will. if they can make into pedo child abuser they will...
Prosecutor and the system will exert a lot of pressure and the defense will be limited that's just the justice system.
If you check reddit comments, the bootlickers are already coming out of wood work to explain away how deserves a conviction...
GFM will disable the fundraiser; one of their restrictions is that the fundraiser can't be used for "the legal defense of financial and violent crimes". Wait until things are farther along. There may be some kind of defense fund announced. If there isn't, then my personal suggestion would be to mail anonymous cash to his lawyers (once they're announced), saying it's to be used for his defense.
What about out right innocent decision? Ya Jury nullification if a boot licker gets on the Jury. But I know I'd be advocating for an innocent verdict if I was on the jury. Hell NYC just let a man who strangled a mentally ill person to death on camera walk because self defense. Luigi killing the CEO is a form of self-defense in my opinion.
Jury nullification isn't some secret third option. The jurors individually can only choose guilty or not guilty. If they are unanimous, that is the decision. If they are not unanimous, it's a hung jury effectively voiding the entire court process up to that point. The government then needs to decide if they want to re-file and try again.
Jury nullification is when evidence is presented establishing clear guilt and the jury still renders a not guilty verdict. 5th amendment prohibits double jeopardy so they cannot be retried.
They are both the same: a jury voting "not guilty". There is no such thing as an "innocent" verdict.
Gofundme does not allow funds for criminal defense. That's been their policy for many years.
Is he repped yet? If not and anyone knows how to get in touch with his people please contact me. I have a line on a few free attorneys that take cases of this magnitude.
I don't get this whole hype. Do we need words to explain to people they can do this? I didn't know there was a term for it, but the concept that someone can vote not guilty for contextual reasons is a thought I've had over my lifetime. Not common?
