either which you're wasting your time and ours, but I appreciate your ability to make your points
btw that guy in the stream the other day said we dont have jury selection in the UK - we do have jusry selection - the lawyers cant choose individual members but they can call for a new jury before the trial starts if they want
Did tommy even have his lawyer
what would happen is, they pick 18 people from the "main room" where we are all put between cases... then when we get to the court room, they pick 12 of us, and the 6 go back to the main room
From what i heard, no
I heard they sent missinformation to his lawyer so he couldnt help Tommy
that's what happens here too
except lawyers can choose to NOT have someone based on some attribute or if the juror is found to not be impartial due to some reason they can be removed
then backups come in, so that there are always 12 total
but they can't PICK who they want, and they can't keep cycling until they like everyone on the jury, but they have some leeway, on the prosecution and defence
also, it doesn't matter
Tommy was a journalist, covering something the the media wasn't... and he got arrested
yes he broke whatever shit law it was
yeah they can choose to remove someone but I think theres some speicial request they have to go through or something
but still shit law and yall should be really upset right now
also this is disturbing if true
basically judge knew TR would be in danger, but didn't care... "so what"
yeah i saw that... its slightly out of context but was stupid to say
Enforcing that law in that case is ilegitimate
and 2: I dont think Tommy was informed of this
hes saying he doesnt care because he will be in protective custody the whole time
"you could be put into protective custody"
What’s the difference between all the journalists outside the court when count dankula was being tried and the grooming gang case?
not that he would
I'd understand a gag law being enforced in a critical matter
like an inminent terrorist attack or something
I think the blackout was that there were so many defendants that they couldn't try them all at once and didn't want the outcome of the first trial affecting the second one
hence the blackout
but still, how would TR know he couldn't do what he did
he was media
he was covering an event
and he got arrested
prior record/shit be damned
If he had been informed he wouldnt be in jail
he knew, because thats what he was arrested for in the first place
right
I get that
I dont think he knew
he is not stupid
