The only thing I want coming out of Stephen Millers mouth is the executioners bullet after that Nazi ghoul is tried and sentenced for his crimes against humanity.
Herr Mueller pouts when he doesn't get his way.
Whiney little Nazi bitch
If Steven Miller got an aneurism over his anger, this would be even better.
Downvoted for the shitty dailybeast source and no free link. Fuck paywalls.
Bro is basically saying whiteness overrides jury decisions
I believe the US populace is starting to think of ICE as injustice and automatically nullify.
Good Let him cry like the toehead twit he is
Rich and powerful love using loopholes, until poor people get to use them too.
Then they get mad.
One of my goals in life is to personally cause Stephen Miller to have a melt down.
...my personal life goal for stephen miller probably violates most lemmy hosts' content policies to articulate...
To see his Wikipedia page say "was"...
All you have to do is feed him some garlic or throw some holy water on him and he'll be a puddle within a minute
Video from the scene showed federal agents chasing the truck as it pulled away, before arresting Nuñez and leading him away in handcuffs.
Where is the follow up court case where they pay this guy a couple million for assault and false imprisonment.
I would guess it is forthcoming.
Jury nullification is a right.
Get fucked, you fascist fuckstick.
I hope lots and lots and lots of Americans that might be on juries have now learned of their rights due to Stephen Miller crying about it.
I hope Luigi's jury nullified everything. But I don't think that is necessary, a simple acquittal will do.
An acquittal is jury nullification. The jury decides "yeah, they probably did it, but this is some bullshit" and votes not guilty.
so what if it is "blatant jury nullification"? that's not illegal.
Nice to see the concept applied to a righteous cause for once too!
U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli wrote: “Apparently he thought it would be funny to interfere with our immigration enforcement operations. Now he can laugh behind bars while he faces justice. Nunez is looking at up to 10 years in federal prison if convicted.”
Essayli, acknowledged the outcome on Friday: “A jury found Mr. Nuñez not guilty. He was free on bond prior to the trial. We have no further comment.”
LOL get fucked fascists.
Apparently he thought it would be funny to interfere with our immigration enforcement operations.
I mean, he was right.
Sure would be a shame if Essayli's car got towed briefly, and definitely not funny in any way, nope
Pee Wee Himmler better get used to lots and lots of jury nullification. It's probably why this little asshat is trying to get away with disappearing people with no trial - he hates and despises We, The People.
Jury nullification is the real reasons juries exist. Pass all the corrupt laws and appoint all the corrupt justices you want. As long as we still have trial by jury we have a check on power from the citizens.
Juries exist to determine facts, and check the work of the prosecutor to make sure they proved the case to the standards required by law. They are an essential part of the legal process, and the possibility of nullification is an interesting byproduct.
This case was not nullification. He was charged with theft for towing a car, which is not theft anywhere, and is standard practice for tow truck operators. The vehicle was returned less than 20 minutes later.
Not guilty was a reasonable conclusion, not a case of a jury nullifying an otherwise solid case.
This is why I hate people who say they hate being on a jury.
You have the most direct access to affect your society in a jury box than you do at the ballot box.
I live in Texas. Jurors are paid $20/day with no reimbursement for expenses, and employers aren't required to pay employees on jury duty (though mine does).
So yeah - people hate it.
Dear Jesus Christ, will you & Santa figure out a way to bring senor miller a healthy dose of some incurable type of cancer this holiday season? A go fund me can be set up if’n ya’ll need $’s for incentive to get ‘er done.
The vehicle was blocking a driveway, and it was towed a block away. ICE was back in that car less than 15 later.
10 years in prison is way overkill for that.
So you're saying the guy was just doing his job? Towing illegally parked vehicles?
When you can't comprehend that jury nullification is a by product of our judicial system. It can be used for bad or good - see lynchings of the jim crow era vs those helping slaves escape.
This prick is the embodiment of the fascist belief that the law has in groups that it does not bind but protects and our groups that bind but do not protect.
This is literally 100% the reason why a jury of your peers exists.
The founding fathers went through a system where dipshits like Stephen Miller could just make up whatever they wanted, and the people had no role, and they fought a whole war to cancel that system. They knew exactly what was up with it.
Edit: If, by some chance, you wind up on a jury where this comes up, just pretend you've never heard of it. Even having heard the term, or understanding the concept, will almost certainly get you disqualified from the jury. You can do the exact same process of deciding that it's a bunch of bullshit that whatever person is being accused of whatever when it's pretty obvious that they were not the one in the wrong, without it being called "jury nullification." It's just justice, it's just common sense, like I said it is the whole intent of having a jury.
Jury nullification isn’t illegal lmao you fucking fascist crybaby.
WAHHHHHH WAAHHHHHH PEOPLE HAVE RIGHTS WAHHHHH
Just wait, unless the US public drastically ramp up resistance.
I feast on his puerile anger.
Unfortunately, he didn't literally melt.
OK, well, he is a melt, but that's different.
