Well that seems like prime territory for jury nullification. Does Australia have that option like the usa?
Jury nullification isn’t a “rule” that exists but is more the biproduct of a system. If your system of law has normal people judge you, they can’t be punished for their decision, and you can’t be tried multiple times for the same crime, then jury nullification exists. The jury simply chooses to ignore directions, makes the decision they think is best, and the court must uphold it
I think it’s more of a byproduct than a pair of products.
A typo in your unnecessary correction? How deliciously ironic.
One that I immediately spotted and fixed? Not really.
20 minutes after posting and 9 minutes after my comment is immediate? Cool.
Now, now, children.
Come to bed dear. Let the children go fuck themselves.
The real irony is that it apparently didn’t go through when I first corrected it.
Jury trials are a triumph of democracy, and any attempt to take them from us should be harshly.put down.
