What the heck is she thinking, Rep. Maxine Waters (Page 4/10) maryjane APR 20, 06:23 PM quote Originally posted by blackrams: Hopefully, we'll learn more on the appeal. We know it's going to happen. Who here would like to be on that jury? Maxine Waters was still wrong in my opinion and should be held accountable. Rams The appeals court is 3 judges, no jury. If the 3 judge panel throws this verdict out, the state can choose to proceed with a new trial and both sides get a crack at a different jury. Appeals courts give lots of weight to the 'fact finder' ... the juror. Appeals usually are successful if there were judicial or constitutional mistakes made in the trial itself. They don't try to decide if the jury got it wrong. The national average for a successful criminal appeal is only 4%. blackrams APR 20, 09:16 PM quote Originally posted by maryjane: The appeals court is 3 judges, no jury.

I meant, after an appeals court turns it over, anyone want to be on that jury. Several politicians have attempted to intimidate the jurors. They should also spend some time behind bars. This is not an opinion on the Chavin trial, only on the politicians attempt to intimidate. Rams rinselberg APR 21, 09:21 AM It's a high bar of legalities to get past, in order to send someone like a "Maxine Waters" to the "cross-bar hotel" to spend time behind bars for the crime of intimidating a jury.

Why does her twitter account still work? What about facebook? Hell why is she still in office as this is not the first time I have seen this kind of posturing from her. williegoat APR 21, 02:37 PM quote Originally posted by Jake_Dragon: Why does her twitter account still work?

She sold her soul to the devil to be one of the cool kids. blackrams APR 21, 04:56 PM It would seem that since he was found guilty, Maxine's comments don't matter at the Congressional lever to Speaker Pelosi and the vast majority of Dems. That seems a bit ironic to me based on the 2nd impeachment of President Trump. President Trump called for a peaceful and patriotic protest not confrontation. I guess it's all in one's perspective, huh...................

Rams steve308 APR 21, 05:49 PM According to the press and most of the democratic leadership its sounds like Mr. Floyd should at the least be up for the Nobel Prize or perhaps Sainthood . blackrams APR 21, 06:08 PM quote Originally posted by steve308: According to the press and most of the democratic leadership its sounds like Mr. Floyd should at the least be up for the Nobel Prize or perhaps Sainthood . Yeah, I've heard. While not suggesting Floyd should have died, making a counterfeit money passing drug taking addict/dealer into a martyr is pretty stupid, next thing we know they'll make Jeffery Epstein a saint. The DNC should change their name to the HPA, Hypocritic Party of America. Rams
