Dutch human rights activist, Olax Outis had no “lawful defence” and was stopped from give a closing speech – but was acquitted by the jury in a verdict seen as a snub to a system complicit in Genocide.

          Look mate. We clearly have differing opinions. Maybe you don’t want to convince me of yours, which is fine, but if that’s the case, there’s not much point replying. If you do, linking me to other ways facts can be determined in legal contexts doesn’t do anything to achieve that, does it? I do already know about judge-led trials, in case that wasn’t obvious, and their existence doesn’t support your opinion from what little of it you’ve shared.

          I’ve had about five billion replies on this, mostly more one liners that show no thought. Try and do better.

            That turned into an opinion pretty quick

              Was that you trying? I don’t know which answer is worse. Bye.

                Honestly I did try when you mentioned Wikipedia, but now it seems like you’re upset that you were wrong about needing juries to determine facts.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
