Re: Oathkeepers trial - verdict being read now

The conspiracy was complete before Jan 6. If each defendant had fallen into a coma on Jan 5, and an asteroid destroyed the Capitol on Jan 6, they would be still be guilty. If someone else should be charged with being part of that same conspiracy, their particular, individual acts and intent will have to be proven, and the conviction of Rhodes etc. is unlikely to be evidence. At subsequent trials, the question is not whether other people were previously convicted.

Jurors swear an oath to follow the law. If it puts them in danger, they are not relieved of their obligations, any more than a soldier would be.

I agree that the convictions are a cultural milestone.

What do you reckon the defence lawyer was gettig at with 'In a different jurisdiction the result would have been different".
If the trial had been held say in Florida he wouldn't have been convicted?

He's saying that the jury pool from one place may be socially, culturally and economically different than the jury pool from a different place.

The conviction is still not being reported on Fox News. Why are they trying to bury the story?

one of my in-laws is a big fox news watcher, he tried to get me to watch some with him during the recent thanksgiving holiday, i begged off to watch football instead; when i told him that i mostly get my news from npr and the bbc he started muttering about government propaganda as he left the room

Sophistry is seductive; much easier than actually thinking.

They might be a little worried that their names are being bandied about as potential Co-conspirators.

There's an interesting interview of the three eldest Rhodes children in the Southern Poverty Law Center's latest edition of Hate And Extremism In 2022. Basically, they say their father is a very dangerous creep.

Is that a dollar bill close to the left bottom corner? What does it stand for? It seems there is some symbolism in the picture ...
