    Once the jurors are selected, we need to start a social media blitz in New York around jury nullification. Signs on street corners. Murals. Chanting crowds outside the courthouse on the court dates.

    We can do this 💪

      i agree, but keep in mind that if the DOJ knows what they’re up against, they will pull some underhanded shit to make a conviction unavoidable. don’t doubt them for a second.

      i honestly have no faith and would rather see us organizing the things that don’t interact with the gears of government at all.

      Aren’t jurors for high profile cases typically secluded during the trial? Would they even be on social media or in a position to be out in public much?

        They still have to enter the building, and the courts have specifically found that holding signs signs and handing out pamphlets about jury nullification in public space outside of courthouse are 100% protected speech.

        You’re right there’s no chance they won’t be secluded on a case like this.

        I don’t know the extent of that though. They probably don’t sleep in the same building so they need to transit between places. Do they use no windows so they can’t see signs? What about hoods, just as effective as no glass!

      I am in Canada. I would go, but I don’t want CBP to be asking me any questions. Last time I visited the US they searched my car for no reason. I have been interrogated by them before (you can probably tell by my username I am of Lebanese descent), but I have a feeling that the Trumpian bullshit might empower them to detain me for no fucking reason.
