So how does that work? You’re in a court of law, which makes that an oath, right? Correct me if I’m wrong. Yet juries can render any judgement, including jury nullification, and it’s all legal.
Given the nature of this administration, and the level of mutual gratification occurring between billionaires, CEOs, and this administration, I would not be surprised if they try to break jury immunity in the event of a Luigi verdict that involves jury nullification or innocence.
That and Luigi’s fate likely rests in the same place as all the whistle blowers of 2024. Bill Burr is right. Corporations are the new mafia, they’re simply backed by the law this time.
If the jury returns innocent, there's absolutely no legal recourse for those gunning for him (regardless of whether it was actual jury nullification, or they legitimately think there's reasonable doubt).
That doesn't necessarily mean a whole lot in a country where extralegal kidnappings and concentration camps are happening, but that's as far as the legal system goes.
