Christ.
Lemme know when you guys are done.
In the meantime, I'm gonna go build a house.
The scariest part about racism will always be how hard they fight to protect it.
Yeah I thought this trial revealed the racial divide in the United States & preferential treatment based upon skin color.
But the worst aspect of this trial is how the judge bent over backwards to accommodate the defense.
Namely he appeared to deliberately misinterpret a statute equating a long gun with a semiautomatic rifle. I read an article about the Wisconsin and the legislators who drafted that legislation.
And it was never intended to include assault weapons like the AR 15.
I think Schroeder knew that. But he allowed that exception. In so doing he revealed his bias towards the defence.
And I think based upon that aspect it should be declared a mistrial or at very least there should be legal challenges to that statute and the judge's ruling.
Jesus Christ, that is a stupid take. The law doesn't care if it is semi-automatic, bolt action, or a muzzle loader. It specifically says to be counted as a long rifle the barrel must be 16" in length and 25" long from butt to muzzle tip. That is it.
Why not try reading the law in question, like I and many others actually did, so you can learn what you are talking about.
No, actually that determination of the MR 15 as a long rifle was not set in stone prior to the trial. Do you remember that?
The defense asked the judge for a ruling as whether the MR 15 could be including in the classification as a 'long rifle'.
It was a vague point in the law and the judge set a precedent under Wisconsin Law at that point in the trial by determining the MR15 as a 'long rifle'.
so he in fact ruled in favor of the defense.
And that's the point at which legal scholars and layman like myself saw the obvious.
That's a clear case of judicial bias/preference.
So that was a clear case of subjective bias
The judge said he had to review the laws and case literature before making a ruling that is it. Also, the judge offered to measure it to see if the rifle complied with section "C" of the law and the prosecution just conceded and said they agreed the rifle was legally compliant with section "C".
So both the defense andbprosecution agreed the rifle was legal in open court but you want to pretend the judge was biased for going with the opinion bothvsides agreed with? Come on, man, think a little.
