Ill ask again, why do juries not have to provide a basic critical reasoning of there judgments? Would it be to hard to figure out what is "good" enough?

Probably, though I'd still bet money that the jury outright nullified in this case since the odds of "well there wasn't proof beyond reasonable doubt" as their argument is loving laughable.


I'm still more on board with just using the 90s playbook of "militia issue? Kill every last one of them" since at this point I'm not going to be the least bit surprised if they all walk for the loving ranch standoff too.

So they only hope we have right now is if the jurors are dumb enough to say anything even vaguely related to jury nullification to a camera?

A juror could admit on camera that they lied their way on to the jury to ensure an acquittal and it's not going to matter beyond the feds going after the juror, maybe.


This trial just makes one thing abundantly clear:

So it was state charges? Why can't they move a fed charge anywhere?

They were federal charges. It was in Portland because the federal district court in Oregon is in Portland. The jury was drawn from across Oregon because that's the applicable district. You cannot just move a federal criminal case to another federal district willy nilly, and especially not for the specific reason that it is more likely to result in a conviction.

Though i seem to recall the court made a special point to draw the jury from more than just portland for this case in particular, because of course they did, because these are Rural Whites, so people better bend over backwards to accommodate them.

Follow up on this, the most famous case of this happening was one of the Gotti trials and the juror got hosed hard for pulling it.

I always thought Oregonians were stupid.

I always knew they think they are sticking it to the man just by living there.

I really hate that state. I bet they wouldn't convict them based on it being a federal case full stop. Oregonians are really stupid and think they are pioneers making it on their own in the frontier even when they work at Wal-Mart.

I don't exactly know what happened. If the judge said "he's still being held on charges in nevada" then yeah, he should have stfued. If they said "well he needs to be processed out", I'm less concerned as I suspect mumford forgot about it.
I'm pretty curious what let to the tackling though, verbal arguements tend not to result in that in court.

Any judge stupid enough to let one of the Bundys out of custody needs to be removed from the bench for incompetence. There is zero loving chance of them not immediately hauling rear end to the family compound to hide behind their militia buddies like their idiot dad did until he was foolish enough to leave and get on a plane.

It can be, but it has been used way too often to aquit white dudes of hosed up poo poo. I don't want to get rid of it (and not sure how you would without weakening a lot of vital double jeopardy protections), but it gets misused more than it is used properly.

No, but I really want to know what happened. The oregonian seems to make it like
"Let my client go"
"He has an NV case"
"Does he have a hold?"
*tackle*
Which I highly doubt is actually the case (I assume he was being a much bigger jackass), but their version is pretty strange.

It's not, because as a statistical matter it protects the majority, which more or less by definition does not require extra-legal means of protection outside of actual apartheid.
