  Weird “legal experts” are shocked about this…

  Judges hate juries, because judges think they should have that power.

  They see juries as ignorant yokels that need steered down a path to justice, and “justice” is the judges opinion. So if they don’t get the result they want in a jury trial…

  They bae the jury for being dumb idiots, and want to know what the need to do to get the next batch of dumb idiots to vote for “justice” next time.

  This shit ain’t new, and any expert surprised this is how judges view jury cases is woefully naive.

  Even a judge just openly saying it, that’s not new.

    See the Prairieland case for a recent example…

    The judge can give idiot-level instructions to the jury, warnings to the jury, reprimands to the jury, whatever, as long as the trial is in progress. Once the verdict has been delivered, respect the process and the citizens and STFU. The shocking part is the open disrespect, not the opinion.

      In your head, if someone is t surprised by something, it means they support it?

    Nobody believes in the legal system as strongly as the people who run it.

  The whole story is a clownshow with only one grown up guy, and it’s Afroman working to pay for the damages others caused.

    I don’t care for shorts, but I assume the format would come down to viewing device.

  Afroman should make a new song about the judge.

    I’m no lyricist, but something tells me calling him Judge Judy might set him off.
