Judges get really finicky about outside influences on their jury.
Hold up a sign about jury nullification outside of any courthouse. You’re going to have a similar outcome.
It kind of makes sense, in theory the litigators of the prosecution and defense are going to present their arguments. And the jury should only use that data to make their decision.
What boils my blood, is where one side is not allowed to make an argument, which is common sense, but for some obscure reason, weird ruling, ancient president, one side is not allowed to give relevant data to the jury. I.e. back when weed was a big deal they busted a guy for having a bunch of weed, but they wouldn’t let him mention to the jury that he had paid the legal weed tax stamps for his weed. Seems like a highly relevant piece of information. Highly contextual
So the law she is reminding them of is written on the front of the building behind her. Seems ridiculous to be charged for that and is just this shitty government clamping down on environmental protest.
