Why juries matter

Jury trials should not be deleted without properly funding other parts of the criminal justice system

There’s a news story today about how Israel is bulldozing over the bodies of people who died at these sites- they also are making it very difficult for the people (in this case a child) who were injured there to get care.
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Muhammad. Muhammad worked in his father’s electrical appliances store but it was destroyed. He is using his fundraiser to help his 17 year old brother Muhannad who was shot while trying to get aid at the US site and had his spleen removed

Here is a list of reasons why some of my hearings and trials this year have been delayed and kicked off into the long grass, stuck in our record court backlog. Serious allegations which will now be tried *years* after the event. 🧵👇

Today the news will be about the government's proposals for juries.

Please read this thread so as to be informed about the actual practical problems in the criminal justice system - problems which will not be solved by this misconceived and illiberal tinkering.

Happening now: Three Israeli settlers attempted to burn my house. They came with a ladder and a metal cutter, and began cutting through the metal roof to throw fire inside. Thank God I discovered them in time

This is all true but

1) under no definition are we currently at war with Venezuela under domestic US law

2) since we aren’t, the initial strike was just as much a murder as the follow up

The failure to understand this by a huge range of actors is really driving me up the wall.
If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.

If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.

It’s that simple.

Really bad news. And completely irresponsible given where we are.
Can’t decide who this is worse for, the EU or the UK. But the real looser, of course, is European defence. So all of us.

Let us hear the infamous story about the necessity of a “land swap” again..

These Ukrainians will be demoralized, tortured and men will be forced to fight on Russia’s behalf. Don’t be naive or romantic about it.

EU, the people you leave with Putin, will be forced to kill your citizens. Wake up.
