Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !achievers@lebowski.social

State police: because federal agents would wait a year first.

I doubt it. I’d bet they’re working on it too, but they won’t make an announcement until it’s all done. They also assist police frequently, for better or worse, when requested.

Your right. Maybe some sort of industrial smoothy machine would reduce that.

Roger stone is a key player in America’s demise. Don’t let his name loose or pop culture media take you off his tracks. He’s a puppet master.

Genuine question: don’t the jury need to be unbiased? Presumably already hard enough with someone like trump, but wouldn’t a death threat create reasonable concerns about bias against the side that does the threatening?

IANAL but my understanding is the grand jury’s job is to decide whether or not to indict based on evidence presented to them. Once indictment is recommended by the grand jury, and a plea of “not guilty” is made then it goes to trial, where a new trial jury is selected. The original grand jury members aren’t even part of the actual trial if an indictment is recommended. In this instance, the grand jury recommended indictments and soon after their info was leaked and then threats were made. There shouldn’t have been any pressured bias due to death threats in the decision to indict, because it happened after the fact.

Just a quick clarification: The names weren’t leaked, as Georgia law requires the listing of juror names, ostensibly for reasons of transparency, which I think is pretty dangerous in practice, as we see now.

Thanks for the clarification. The names are indeed listed in the indictment. What was being shared is their pictures and social media profiles for harassment purposes.
