Rittenhouse jury just went to deliberate

[tahuyaman]

Well...shooting someone who is about to slam your head into the ground is safe handling.
In your case, it wouldn't affect your IQ.

Why would you say something like that?

People like you are why a lot of people think conservative or right wing types are rubes.

 

[toobfreak]

I have been. Get with the program.

No you haven't. Don't try to bullshit me.

 

[tahuyaman]

Dude, I have known Tahu on boards like this for a very long time. He is NOT some lefty moonbat.

Let them think what they want.

Why would you say something like that?

People like you are why a lot of people think conservative or right wing types are rubes.

Do people have the right to defend themselves when the police are told to stay back?

Coming FROM a lefty moonbat I will take that with a grain of salt.

 

[tahuyaman]

No you haven't. Don't try to bullshit me.

Review the thread then get get back to me

 

[M14 Shooter]

Find that case yet loony bird? No you didn’t, therefore you are FOS!

Thank you for the further demonstration of your ignorance.

So he's not like you.

 

[tahuyaman]

Do people have the right to defend themselves when the police are told to stay back?

They may or may not. According to the law, one loses the right to claim self defense when they provoke a confrontation. The availability of the police isn't relevant to that.

 

[tahuyaman]

So he's not like you.

Nor am I like you. Fortunately

A Judge CAN overturn a guilty verdict... Can A Judge Overturn A Jury's Guilty Verdict?

He's not going to do that if the verdict is guilty.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

He's not going to do that if the verdict is guilty.

You don't know that and yes if a hung jury he can rule too.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

Nonetheless, in the United States today, it is generally permitted. If a mistrial occurs due to a hung jury, the prosecutor may decide to retry the case. A judge may decide to disallow this in some cases, but the prosecutor is usually allowed to proceed.

 

[tahuyaman]

You don't know that and yes if a hung jury he can rule too.

If it's a hung jury, he'll declare a mistrial and it will then be up to the prosecution to either re-try him or drop it.

the Judge can rule otherwise.

 

[WEATHER53]

What is time estimate for when all unwarranted hell will break loose because libs didn’t get their way and must tantrum, loot burn and destroy in order to vent. Vent is such a safe space pussy concept.

Democrat politicians will nod in approval as their constituents once again prove how Unfit they are to be called American

 

[RetiredGySgt]

If it's a hung jury, he'll declare a mistrial and it will then be up to the prosecution to either re-try him or drop it.

can a judge rule if it is a hung jury - Bing wrong on all counts today

 

[WEATHER53]

They may or may not. According to the law, one loses the right to claim self defense when they provoke a confrontation. The availability of the police isn't relevant to that.

The answer to the question is a resounding Yes. Because police are choosing to stand back does not mean citizenry in the process of being assaulted have to just take the beating,

This judge is not going to set aside the verdict.

If it's a hung jury he'll do what most judges usually do. Declare a mistrial and give the prosecution the option to try again or drop it .
