The whole jury would have to be made up of CEOs to achieve that. Any lawyer, even the worst one, could argue that they aren’t his peers making the selection invalid.
Here’s a question: how many people making more than $200,000/year or who are independently wealthy actually serve on a jury?
I ask this because every jury pool I’ve been in was made up of working class people. Those too poor don’t vote and so aren’t on their lists, and those too rich always seem to have acceptable reasons to be excused, if they’re ever pooled in the first place.

Well, that’s a new one
Is it even foosball…
Feasebal is my new favourite word.
Thank you fine sir.
They managed to find enough people who didn’t already realise that trump is a lying, cheating pile of shit whip doesn’t have an honest bone in his body for his trial.
Yeah just get non-Americans.
Yes, people who haven’t had insurance or people who have it but don’t use it because they don’t know they can.
Both of those are screwed over by the healthcare system and the companies perpetrating it. If you cant afford healthcare or don’t understand it because it is to convoluted, that is a result of the policies of healthcare providers.
I don’t think that would be a hard requirement. If somebody can explain how they will be fair despite a negative experience with an insurance company and the prosecution is okay with it, then they can serve.
Prosecution will strike them. Next.
It’s often not that simple or easy, especially if someone explains they can still be impartial. The judge and defense are involved too, the prosecution doesn’t always get what they want.
Peremptory challenge, no reason needed. It’s one of the six I get for the case. Next.
Seems like you got it all figured out then.

You don’t have not-have an opinion on the US healthcare system, you just have to claim that your opinion on the healthcare system won’t affect your ability to reach an impartial verdict.
I’m sure in your bubble there’s a lot of people that would let him go just to make a point but general public is very stupid and easily manipulated. They will easily find 12 people that will “fulfill their duty” and make sure “justice was served”. It’s very unlikely that 1 person believing in jury nullification will slip through and derail it by causing miss trail, let alone 12 that will unanimously vote “not guilty”.
From Lemmy or your chronically online bubble? No, you can’t.
In reality? Sure, absolutely.
They’ll get Bill, the 67 year old boat repair man, who spends his free time drinking beer and fishing and still doesn’t really get the whole Internet thing.
They’ll get Maria, the 38 year old administrative assistant who’s only form of media engagement is watching reruns of The Office.
They’ll get Cadence, the 22 year old intern at her family owned business, who dreams of being a Trad wife and has always had her health insurance taken care of by others.
They’ll have Mike, the 32 year old influencer bro, who is all about that grind lifestyle and makes videos on how to invest for his 15k followers.
They’ll get Kathrine, the 72 year old church volunteer who only hangs out with her church friends, watches no TV, and has been living comfortably off her widow benefits for the last 10 years.
None of these people have been following the Luigi saga. Some don’t even know his name. Some firmly believe things haven’t really changed much in the last 30 years and have zero clue as to the struggles people face today.
