    They are struggling so hard to find somebody who doesn’t know anything about what happened and why.

      they were blasting his news for the first 2 weeks, and couldnt come up with a way to make it a “left problem” until a month later.

        Maybe that’s why? If you blast it loud enough, then you will only find the absolute most tuned out ignorant people to put on the jury.

    He can’t get a “fair” trial because the corporations have screwed everyone over for pure profit. Only people who haven’t been screwed over are the rich. It’s a show trial that will convict and demand the death penalty because how dare the rich faces consequences.

    The idea of “neutral” long ago hit an iceberg and is sinking into a grim experience of mass suffering, this is really less an economic and policy issue now and more of a weird rhetorical contortion of a war against the average USian into abstract terms that disguise the fact that a war is going on.

    It just says a jury of peers.

    If a cannibal is on trial you can’t call a jury impartial because none of them are cannibals, or based on the fact that they all think cannibalism is disgusting. Form the jury up, and let’s get this Jury Nullification party started.

    Ha! This is so true. Most people have at least an opinion on healthcare companies, and that’s before we look at experiences.

    So what happens when they can’t find a jury? Had there ever been a case of that in U.S. history?

      There’s always someone, although they might struggle with the whole “his peers” thing if it’s basically just a bunch of mennonites.

    Gee seems like every American has experienced a moment of wishing they could get revenge on an insurance company and then took in interest in the case where a hero did. Weird that.

      I haven’t had an experience like that with anyone I’m close with, but I’m still pissed the fuck off at them because a) I could and b) I have empathy for the many people who have. So they just need to fill the jury with people without empathy.
