Remember how people go on about how the UK is slowly becoming a fascist country?

Yes, goodbye Jury Nullification.
I was a juror. The person who was on trial would probably end up in prison if not for the jury system. I was about 75% sure that the defendent was technically guilty of the crime, but I pushed for notguilty and that person is free today. Because the law as it was applied was, I believe, unjust in that specific case.
Anyway, fuck the Labour Party. Good day.
@libreleah I’ve been on two juries. One of which voted to convict, and it was correct, one to acquit which was regretted by everyone as the uncertainty over injuries and time (an older injury which may or may not have resulted in long term damage). But everyone took both seriously and in context.
