As jurors speak out, what @barnes_law and I told you repeatedly will become increasingly clear.
Juror responses in voir dire were red flags for defense. They didn't "deliberate" over the facts. They projected their experiences/beliefs onto the case. foxnews.com/us/chauvin-jur…
To be fair to them, they are far from being alone in doing this. That's how most jurors/juries come to render verdicts.
They tell themselves a story through the lense of their own beliefs.
It was just particularly slanted (very) in the trial against Derek Chauvin.
"It was just dark. It felt like every day was a funeral and watching someone die every day."
He wanted on "because of all the protests and everything that happened after the event. This is the most historic case of my lifetime, and I would love to be a part of it."
BIG RED FLAG
As we also told you, true hold outs are rare and unless they have strong internals, will cave more than 90% of the time.
Here we have this juror expressing frustration over a holdout wanting to deliberate over jury instructions.
Rest couldn't have cared less about instructions.
To be clear, the second quote(s) in the above tweet in this thread is from the QUESTIONNAIRE this particular juror filled out!
Not that he could've gotten a fair trial in that particularly venue for his client, but it was still a terrible job by the defense during voir dire.
Exactly, because hs mind was made up. And if his portrayal of the rest of the 10 jurors is accurate, so were their minds.
Before the pro-conviction crowd speaks, ask yourselves whether jury instructions deserved deliberation if it was you, your family.
Of all the invites we've sent out over the years to welcome outside review of our work, @PetrSvab of @EpochTimes is the only one who ever took us up on that offer.
The rest either smeared or were quiet in the face of the smear.
Speaking of smears, look at the trend on Twitter right now re: the Arizona audit, citing "some experts" who're "raising questions".
Bunk.
@kelliwardaz and @AZGOP invited everyone and anyone to participate in this audit. They refused B/C they wanted to have an excuse after it.
Funny how many of those classified as "experts" reversed themselves after years — even decades — of research on the impact of mail-in-voting re: fraud and turnout.
Simply have no principled positions. Might as well hang "For Sale" signs around their necks.
Wait, I’ve been told that I have “greatly exaggerated” the failures of this industry.
Lol.
Here’s an idea to reach a “consensus” on what went wrong. Ask someone who didn’t screw it up — again — then shut up, and listen to them. politico.com/news/2021/04/1…
I feel as if we've been down this road before.
Pollsters screw up, majorly, refuse to listen to those who did not, smear them instead, put on cute conventions exclusively with the screw ups, listen to them about why they screwed up, then screw up again.
Rinse. Repeat cycle.
The industry should take grandma’s advice: if you want to be better at something or a better person, then surround yourself with people better than you, and learn from them.
Screw ups can’t tell other screw ups how not to screw up. Losers can’t tell other losers how to win.
If the @PressSec and the Biden Admin think conservatives are their major hurdle with the vaccine, they they have a real problem. We found a clear disparity between black, Hispanic and other minorities vs. whites, and they are more suspicious of it.
Point being, the percentage of whites who told us they are a hard No on getting the vaccine basically mirrors the national average. Other minority groups saying they are not getting it exceeded the average and won’t be reached by PSA spots during NASCAR, @PressSec.
Here are Covid-19 vaccinations by race:
"I have no plans to get vaccinated": 24.6%
"I intend to get vaccinated": 32.1%
"I have already been vaccinated": 43.3%
@PressSec@jrpsaki, can you reach Black/AA, American Indian/Alaska Native, Indian/Other Asian groups via Nascar PSAs?
Drug bans initially stemmed from addiction concerns, which boomed after the invention of the hypodermic needle.
But it wasn’t about race. The addicted were Civil War veterans.
Later, the Federal Bureau of Narcotics in 1930 certainly used questionable tactics, but...
... in 1906 the Pure Food and Drug Act required labels to state specific drugs such as opioids, cocaine, etc.
The first Opium Commissioner Hamilton Wright very specifically cast America as a drug consuming leader world-wide, and he wasn’t on a crusade against any race.
Media are pushing the hell out of shootings to help Democrats pass gun control. Well, not all shootings. Only the shootings that help their political cause.
Inner city gun violence to include young men gunned down in autonomous zones dedicated to George Floyd, are off limits.
"No motive at this time" means it doesn't fit the media narrative. When you've been around this long, you learn to speak the language.
Exactly.
Truth be told, the literature on the impact of covering mass shootings is very clear. So clear, in fact, a thinking person can't help but to wonder what media motives really are.
This is a ridiculous take from someone still willing to carry water after the most embarrassing 24 hours this so-called superpower has experienced in a very long time.
The Chinese publicly called us weak to our faces, something they wouldn’t dare do under the last president.
