but some fuckwad made that choice (or maybe they are too busy putting people on trail for hate speech to do it any sooner), so now what?

This is basically victim blaming

btw

i....wut

oh you're the victim of knowledge and you shared it, you goto jail

because we can't be sensible in our court proceedings

not victim of knowledge, but you get what I'm saying

are you a leftist?

anyway, I think it's BS in either case

"you did an action, but you are the victim"

haha no

>you shared it

that is an action

it would be victim blaming if you jailed the jury for hearing it

an action I don't deem illegal...

sharing information, in this case, isn't illegal..

i.e. reporting on the trial, possbily the verdict.. that wouldn't be illegal here, regardless

hence why the jury is usually instructed to not watch the media

so you can't arrest media for that, and TR is media in this case.. so our first amendment should protect what he was doing

well in this case, not watch the media (for a year), talk to family (for a year), talk to colleagues (for a year). Since we are here, because some fuckwad (the person who should really be sent to jail) split this up across a year. What are the options?

also, this is in the UK

not supressing the media is not an option

again I know this

I'm talking about what would happen here and why I think it's wrong

i agree, this shit really wouldn't fly here

and also, that happens all the time in jury trials, jury sequesters

https://www.bustle.com/articles/149088-how-long-was-the-oj-simpson-jury-sequestered-this-trial-took-its-time

265 days for the OJ trial.

so there's your answer of what happens here

which one, his first or second?

first

the murder trial

I shouldn't say 265 days is the norm, but it has happened, and that's how it was dealt with, rightly or wrongly

What happens if someone on a jury breaks that? they kicked off the jury

?

yup

can be

or a mistrial

there was probably some legalities too if I had to imagine.. poor jurors

anyway, here, it would be jury sequester, not infringing on press rights...

they dont really sequester much anymore - its incredibly expensive.. they have to pay each juror not to mention all the people hired...

regardless of why the gag order was placed, it was placed (and gag orders happen here too)
