It's a pretty bedrock part of every nation with trials by jury that the accusers don't get to unilaterally select the jury. "Finding 12 people that will have him killed" would as you said, be easy. So would finding 12 people that would not. That's why the prosecution and the defense are given equal powers to appoint and reject jurors, in a process that sometimes goes on longer than the actual trial.
It’s interesting to me to note the differences in jury selection between the US and Australia: here in Aus (at least in my state of NSW) both sides get to strike jurors, but there isn’t a round of questioning - it’s purely based on physical appearance - and each side only gets three challenges (per accused person). That means for most trials, those with only one defendant, at least six of the original randomly selected jurors will end up serving.
I’ve done jury service twice - once I was part of the original 12 and wasn’t challenged, and the other time I replaced the last challenged juror but each side only ended up challenging two.
I feel like not being able to question jurors and having limited strikes makes the system far more random and, therefore, more just in terms of the jury being a random selection of citizens.
That is really interesting the differences there. I think the intended goal of the US system is to make sure that you get 12 people capable of being objective about the subject at hand, rather than 12 random people. For example, it usually takes all 12 jurors to make a conviction, so if you get just one person who won't convict no matter what because of religious reasons or pre-existing biases or whatever, then automatically you have a hung jury that can't be swayed by evidence. So the US system tries to insure we get 12 people who are willing to put aside their biases and be objective (enough) to render a verdict based on the facts before them either way the facts lead. So it's a long process, but in our system anyway we try to weed out anybody who might believe, for example, that all Mexicans are criminals if it's a Mexican on trial, or someone who doesn't believe that rape should be a crime in a rape case. And the big one of course, people who are already so convinced by media they've consumed that the person is guilty that they can't act as a fair juror.
Yeah, it seems clear that the goals are different and so the methods of selection have to be different in order to try to achieve those goals. I wonder if there are any statistics available to determine what approach results in more accurate results in terms of convictions! Personally I see the merit in both approaches, and potentially in other approaches to the jury selection process.
I recieved both a ban and a death threat from a .ml mod.
My opinion was that Harris would have been better than Trump. I even included that I didn't even like her or the democrats. I just view them as, unfortunately, the better option right now.
They told me I should be executed and thrown in a pit with the rest of the garbage (ie the other people they view as undesirable) and promptly banned. It was a crazy escalation
I've had the opposite experience. I was mobbed and then site-banned by .ml for mildly criticizing communism in China and defending my opinion. But the hateful, rule-breaking comments, the derision, the incivility--all of that stayed up right where it was.
I agree, although I feel like that's across the board for Lemmy. Mods aren't all joining together and discussing the rules they will enforce. Every community has its own idea of how moderation works, and we all do what we see fit or please. I've seen some stupid shit on the modlogs everywhere, often using the ban and remove content feature that essentially scrubs the user's history, which imo should be fixed.
I do feel like .ml takes that to an extreme, though. Like, what do you mean you can't criticize Russia or China without being banned by an admin? Dessalines is especially guilty of this, and the other admins deflect and defend his behavior.
didn't he save thousands of people? as in the aftermath of the event insurance companies started approving claims they were meant to approve until shareholders sued them to stop
The fact he was "found" in the most nonchalant way at McDonald's with the evidence on him is very suspicious. And then he just walked around with it for 2 days? Dude, I'm ditching and burning everything in the first hour. I know criminals are supposed to be dumb. But come on, this guy doesn't look dumb.
Especially given the shooter printed parts of the weapon and had no cellphone on them when they shot Brian McEvilCEO or whatever his name was. And then hopped on a scooter and left the island without a trace. So much planning went into the prep and, ahem, execution of the plan that holding into blatant evidence like a signed confession 2 days after the fact doesn't make any sense. It screams planted evidence on a person who vaguely looked like the only screenshot I've ever seen of the ahooter smiling.
At the very least I have very reasonable doubts and would not be selected for the jury.
Another thing that gets me is that Mangione seems like just the kind of guy you would try to pin something like this on. He was a queer kid, estranged from his family (or at least out of contact for a prolonged period), and living in a hostel. Isn't that the oldest police trick in the book when they want to "solve" a case, blame it on some drifter from out of town?
Obviously we can't know for sure, but there was a lot of stuff about the incident and especially his arrest that point toward him bring used as a useful patsy to try to control the narrative in light of the near universal approval of the death of a health insurance CEO.
I get rooting for him, it just always felt like all the comments about him not doing it were mostly memes (see the "he was with me" comments under my original comment), but lately I got the feeling people seriously think he's innocent.
Here's the thing: the default position is not believing something either way. They have to get enough evidence to make me believe. So far, it doesn't seem to be there. There's some evidence, but there's also plenty of reason to be skeptical of it. My position currently is that it's possible, but I don't believe he did it.
Yes. Some people think the original picture released doesn't match Luigi and therefore it can't be the same person, for example.
There's also some people who suspect it probably was him, but believe that illegal means were used to find him and they can't use such evidence in-court because it would require admitting to having a secret mass surveillance network. I assume for such people, a belief in a secret CIA/FBI mass surveillance network came first, so of course they could find the guy using it.
When I was a little kid, my older sister used to bite me sometimes. My mom once told her in front of me when I was about 4, that if she did it again, my mother would bite her back. As soon as my mom was elsewhere, I bit the outside of my forearm hard enough to leave a mark that looked like someone else had done it (I know, younger siblings, but she was ten years old biting a preschooler, so I support it). My mom did bite her, but probably not really very hard and my sister stopped biting me after that. I’m not sure how I feel about that parenting, but I’m not a parent, so I’ll withhold judgement. Plus it worked.
Well, he was physically with you there in Europe. Me and him were astral projecting our minds to a distant world around Tau Ceti at the time of the killing.
personally i don't care either way if he did or didn't, in this case a terrible human is dead...maybe other terrible humans will have moment of introspection and change their ways if one of their own is murdered and the (alledged) killer gets away with it.
therefor the result with most net-good is a not-guilty verdict
I like aviator sunglasses and I still don’t think I’ve ever thought a cop looked inherently cool (I can imagine a bomb defuser looking cool in the moment, but that’s just because of what they’re doing)
She only looks cool because she looks like she's part of a rag-tag team of underdogs who infiltrated the courtroom to bust him out. She probably has telekinetic powers.
About that. The CEO he shot was actually in hot water with Blackrock, who were functionally his bosses, for not doing enough to screw over people. Blackrock owns many insurance companies. So that was like 1% progress on solving a problem. Until you get your IRA/401k divested from Blackrock and stop shopping at Blackrock owned companies (good luck), you can shoot all the CEOs you want. Blackrock will still instruct their employee to screw you over.
I think we should make owning the conservative fascists a point. They have always been accusing anyone opposed to them of doing this shit even if we didn't. Why not give them a well earned fuck you?
there are people who can afford to do it and people who cannot. minorities know this very well. mamdani represents multiple minorities whether he wants to or not. he cannot do this.
Nothing in particular. Note that I am not the person you replied to originally. I found that your message did not offer an alternative after shutting off the presumption (that Mamdani had that kind of power), so I am encouraging you to suggest one
No matter what happens, what ruling, what transpires, they can't bring that piece of shit he (supposedly) shot back from the dead. He's got a lot to smile about.
Aren't they obligated to see to his medical needs so long as he is being detained?
As in, maybe he's smiling because (ironically) the medical care he was being denied by insurance companies while not incarcerated now has to be provided for by the state?
There's lots of red tape and forgetting, not to mention simply not responding to them as if a nurse was walking by a hospital room with the call light on, that can be done. There are numerous articles out there about diabetics going into comas because they were denied the insulin their family had for them in the prison lobby, individuals who were seizing being ignored, people with broken bones being thrown into general pop, etc. etc.
I wouldn't count on getting better care. You might, but you might not.
Look at that face! That is not the face of a cold blooded murderer! That is the face of caring person who sees the injustices and wanted to protect the country when other avenues have failed.
Luigi shouldn't be in jail. The insurance racket should be the one facing possible death penalties.
I thought we had "innocent until proven guilty". But instead we have a convicted felon for president who's a pedophile friend, and a guy named Luigi Mangione in jail while we don't even know who really did it.
When asked if people would rather have some innocent people get jailed, or some guilty people set free (in court).
The majority said they'd rather have some innocent people get jailed. Which to me seems like the worst of both worlds. An innocent person behind bars. And the real criminal is free.
I don't have a source. Something I remember seeing maybe 10 years ago but it stuck with me. Feel free to ask those you know the question, see what they answer.
I’m not entirely sure all cops are anti-Luigi. I work at a health insurance company and it’s sort of an open secret there is a sizable number of us on his side.
Healthcare is complicated. Private health care does not solve a single goddamn problem. But there are degrees to how bad it has to be and fuck if United didn’t go out of their way to make it worse.
It's concerning how quiet the media is about him. And there's been a lot of confusion about the evidence in that case. The guy supposedly changing his outfit, the rifle supposedly being assembled and disassembled, there was a note that "got lost", the trans girlfriend that has "disappeared" it's conspiracy theory level of shady.
I don't think that's true. I made the prediction, after that healthcare CEO got shot, that Stochastic Political Assassinations would be the hip new thing, and I think this past year has proven me right.
He did do jack shit, he allegedly shot and killed a CEO. I understand that you are disappointed this didn't lead to further slayings, but as I said, at least he did something. If you are dissatisfied that there hasn't been more things done, I would encourage you to be the change you want to see in the world, rather than just crying about it on the Internet.

About that. The CEO he shot was actually in hot water with Blackrock, who were functionally his bosses, for not doing enough to screw over people. Blackrock owns many insurance companies. So that was like 1% progress on solving a problem. Until you get your IRA/401k divested from Blackrock and stop shopping at Blackrock owned companies (good luck), you can shoot all the CEOs you want. Blackrock will still instruct their employee to screw you over.

Atomic@sh.itjust.works · 7 pts · 254d
When asked if people would rather have some innocent people get jailed, or some guilty people set free (in court).
The majority said they'd rather have some innocent people get jailed. Which to me seems like the worst of both worlds. An innocent person behind bars. And the real criminal is free.
I don't have a source. Something I remember seeing maybe 10 years ago but it stuck with me. Feel free to ask those you know the question, see what they answer.

I’m not entirely sure all cops are anti-Luigi. I work at a health insurance company and it’s sort of an open secret there is a sizable number of us on his side.
Healthcare is complicated. Private health care does not solve a single goddamn problem. But there are degrees to how bad it has to be and fuck if United didn’t go out of their way to make it worse.

I don't think that's true. I made the prediction, after that healthcare CEO got shot, that Stochastic Political Assassinations would be the hip new thing, and I think this past year has proven me right.
Charlie Kirk, multiple Trump attempts, the Pennsylvania Governor's mansion got firebombed.
Those legislators in Minnesota getting assassinated
Some smaller CEOs had attempts on their lives also, Like the Michigan company president who got stabbed
So, no more healthcare CEOs didn't get got, but people across the political spectrum have.
