This guy on the bench, but Epsteins pedo-bros walking free with pardons: Maybe it's time to be the light one wishes to see in the world? How best to turn a "Just-Us" department back into a Justice department?
Imagine if 10k Luigi's poped up.
Let's be the change we want in this world.
This may not actually be a case of double jeopardy but really seems like "1 jury may be sympathetic to him, so lets do 3 juries to hedge our bets" they are throwing the book at this guy to make sure he doesn't get free.
Different jurisdictions, different charges. State and Federal charges are entirely separate. Not double jeopardy at all. It's one of the ways the system is designed to get around protections like that.
And in some situations, military courts are a third jurisdiction.
it is incredibly stupid, but that's just how the US's half-assed federal system works it's the source of practically all of the US's many many systemic governance issues.
If he gets executed it could trigger an actual class war
Unfortunately I highly doubt it
I was under the impression that the judge actually just recently ruled out the death penalty?
If he gets the death penalty he will sit on that for many years before an execution takes place.
pffffft, like California, Minnesota, North Carolina, Louisiana, and now Maine aren't facing ones. Get your ass out and win.
