FreedomJury  (68 days ago)

Jurors are typically "exempted" by the prosecution if they show any sign of intelligence or capacity for critical thought. Seriously. People have actually been dismissed because they read "US News and World Report" instead of "Reader's Digest". There is no more 6th amendment in the USA, because "common law" is not defined in the Constitution. Unfortunately, the US Constitution doesn't include a copy of Black's Law Dictionary, and this allows judges and prosecutors to get away with unimaginable evil.

This is a good overview for people who have been summoned for jury duty. Mentioning that you are a member of the "Fully Informed Jury Association", and that you know you have a right to vote "not guilty" (even based on your personal disagreement with the law), allows you to painlessly get out of jury duty. If you mention these things, and the judge says you still must serve, then by all means, exercise your right to piss off the judge and prosecution, and vote "not guilty" (no matter what). (Of course, that won't happen, since the judge, prosecutor, and police all are getting government paychecks --funded by your taxes-- and they all agree that with the prosecution. After all, the more people they punish, the more power and money they get.)
