  Just do what you can, when you can. It’s all any of us can do.

  Because I don’t trust anybody who tells me things I wanna hear like “you bear no responsibility; it’s somebody else’s fault”.

  Oil companies couldn’t sell if nobody was buying. The idea that the world can be fixed and I won’t need to sacrifice a thing is a little too good to be true.

  I don’t disagree; I’m just pointing out that the judge was unlikely to be targeting the barrister for any political reason. Courts always discourage any overly obvious suggestion of jury nullification, regardless of the case being tried or whether it does or does not relate to Israel.

  The whole point of a jury system is that jurors aren’t morons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lawyers ‘Scared’ to Do Their Jobs After Charges Against Palestine Action Barrister⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Given that even before his closing statement, the judge had already warned him not to encourage jury nullification, he can’t have been that subtle.

  With an argument like that, it sounds like you have a lot of contempt for the court system. So if the barrister also argued in open court that “ignoring all law and evidence is the right thing to do”…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lawyers ‘Scared’ to Do Their Jobs After Charges Against Palestine Action Barrister⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Juries can practice jury nullification if they want and nobody can stop them, but barristers aren’t supposed to suggest it. Imagine if, say, a prosecutor told an Israeli jury that they didn’t technically need evidence to arrive at a “guilty” verdict for a Palestinian defendant, just “their conscience”. Jury nullification can’t become just another trial strategy, or the whole legal system becomes worthless.

  It really is hard to find a job where you can go home at the end of the day and feel like what you did that has benefitted the human race at all.

  One could argue that capitalism only did that because it needed to compete with communism, and that the more that capitalism eliminates its communist competition, the less it seems inclined to care about the working class.
