Can Jury Slaves Say What's True?

Douglas French

See my own story here: Tell the Truth, Get Out of Jury Duty

I too was criticized for doing the same, as you'll see in the comments on his article, the fact of the matter is I didn't want to perjure myself, and as Jeff Tucker notes it would only have ended in a hung jury and a retrial. - ChrisUntil last week, I had managed all of my adult life to avoid jury duty. As a young adult in Topeka, Kan., I was never summoned. For my two decades living in Las Vegas, I was able to call in a couple times declaring economic hardship. Most of the time, I seemed to be off their radar screen. I always suspected it was because I hadn't registered to vote.

But finally in my new home in this small Southern town, the state got me. There seemed to be no reasonable way out. Alabama finds its victims to serve by choosing from driver's license records.

My plan was to show up, be asked a couple questions that reveal my hatred of the state, and especially the criminal justice system, be judged as unreliable for the jury box, and be sent on my way.

Unfortunately that's not how the system works.

You know what Chris ?
If I was ever on trial, no matter for what, I would much prefer to have
someone like you on 'my' Jury rather than all the sheeple ..

I STILL wouldn't get a 'fair' trial, but at least the verdict might be 'fair' !!

Yeah, well I would want the same, in fact, i'd like if the entire system was abolished. Problem is it doesn't work that way, at least not in the state I am in. If it was New Hampshire where you're actually allowed to nullify the laws that's one thing, but like in this story the judge systematically works to sniff out anyone who thinks they have the power to nullify, you're facing perjury charges if you go against it, people have gone to jail for doing just that, the whole system is completely unjust in every respect. One person on a jury going undercover to not convict is not going to change anything, and like I said in my comment it will just result in a retrial if you're the only one who doesn't agree. It's like the quote "if voting changed anything they'd make it illegal," you don't change society through trickery, it takes a massive change in thought to change anything, just look at how marijuana is still illegal most everywhere, the public are around 50% in support yet they're still jailing and robbing people every day.

Chris, have you ever watched the old British sci-fi series "Blake's 7"? Check out the first episode, "The Way Back". The totalitarian government in that show drugs the food and water with "suppressants" to control the people. People who take a stand against the government are either killed or brainwashed. After being captured at an anti-government meeting (at which everyone else is killed), the main character, Blake (who had previously been brainwashed) is taken to jail. The government trumps up charges against him, all involving children, and finds him guilty in a kangaroo court.
So far, I've only seen the first episode, but I'm looking forward to seeing more. This series has never been released for the U.S. home video market, so I'm having to watch it on the internet.
