MODERATORS
The thing about Jury Nullification is that you have to make it through the majority of a trial. 97-98% of criminal cases (in the U.S.) end in a plea deal without ever going to trial.

Lol no
She won’t see a day in jail. She never threatened. What she will see is a huge payday.
Not likely she can win a civil suit. They needed probable cause to arrest her, and QI says that even if they lacked it, they're still off the hook. The judge has absolute immunity. That's it, even if she beats the rap, she can't beat the ride.
Her first amendment rights were violated. If the state doesn’t pay, the insurance company will settle out of court

Shit like this is going to happen until us poors remember our place.
Did she say she was running for the presidency? Because in that case, she could take someone out on main street and she could grab them by the pussy too and nobody would say anything.
She should have tried to purchase a president or maybe purchase the presidency itself for a self pardon.
Joe should pardon her wtf Joe!
Sounds more like a setup imho
Long live freedom of speech!
