That’s what I’m interested in, the educational part. I already distrust the government, but I’m still fascinated by how things work for some reason
Some of the things I learned: the judge was very nice, but judges manage multiple trials at the same time, hundreds a year. They practice a script to manipulate the jury.
At no point is the judge, jury or lawyers required to tell the truth.
People on the jury will vote just to gain the acceptance of other jurors and be part of the group.
As you observe and interact people think about how many of them won’t get as simple of a concept as decentralization.
As far as making a mistake goes, vote your honest morals and ethics.
For example, let’s say someone was on trial for tax evasion because they were selling weed for cash or bitcoin and not reporting it to the IRS. I am sure that you could find a reasonable doubt to vote not guilty even if every other juror voted to convict.
All you have to do is be honest with your own morals and ethics, kind of the whole point of a jury, which judges and lawyers like to ignore and manipulate. That way, you can make a decision and walk out with a clear conscience.
