There are some instances where Reddit is still a great source of information just due to the sheer size of the community. But there’s a lot more shit to wade through after the exodus a couple years back. I haven’t signed back in for years.

News@lemmy.world•What is jury nullification and what does it mean for Luigi Mangione’s defense? | CNN
2·1 year agoAs much as most people on the left want juries to nullify in cases of unfair or unjust laws, the reality is it mostly results in murderous cops going free and corporations getting free passes. Like I said in another comment, while jury nullification could be used to tackle unfair laws, the reality is you mostly end up with actual racists and actively harmful corporations not being held accountable. Jury nullification is itself not good or bad, but it’s mostly used for bad. Frankly, I don’t really love the jury system but that’s a while bigger issue.

News@lemmy.world•What is jury nullification and what does it mean for Luigi Mangione’s defense? | CNN
2·1 year agoNo, juries are the triers of fact. Juries do not exist to make a determination as to whether the law is fair or not and are (usually) explicitly told this. They have to listen to the facts, decide what actually happened, and then whether the facts match the elements of whatever crime is being charged.
I agree that getting a jury of twelve randomish peers is actually not the greatest system, but it’s what we’re working with. So in this paradigm, jury nullification is a huge problem because it’s twelve random people just deciding not to enforce a law the rest of society (sort of) has said needs to be enforced. This in turn leads to white supremacists getting acquitted by juries after prosecutors proved beyond a doubt that the defendants committed the crime and the same happening with police that abuse their powers.
It could end up working to protect civil liberties. But the reality is it mostly results in the status quo being upheld and/or actual criminals that need some kind of punishment being acquitted.

36·1 year agoJury nullification is also why cops who murder people and klansmen get acquitted. It’s not necessarily a good thing, just a quirk of the system.

43·1 year agoWhile China is considered part of the global south, its economy is so massive and it is so influential globally it really shouldn’t be.

News@lemmy.world•Soldier who blew up Tesla at Trump hotel left note saying blast was to be a 'wake up call' for US
8·1 year agoIf he was trying to keep his clearance, then he would strive to avoid any appearance of mental health issues. Strictly speaking you’re still encouraged to take care of your mental health, but you have no confidentiality in your mental health records if you have a clearance and certain psychological issues can be a cause to deny or revoke a clearance. Many clearance-holders opt to avoid therapy and other mental health treatments as a result.
