There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

I think they'll retry. But I also think that it won't make a verdict any more likely to fall on the prosecution's side.
It's a valid defense, and if the defense team can make it convincing enough, an acquittal is just as likely as a conviction when retried. I haven't been paying a shit ton of attention to the details. But what I have seen points towards the defense knowing their shit. They're presenting good arguments that can change minds. So if a given jury starts neutral (they all should, but humans are rarely as unbiased as they think they are), I can see her being found not guilty via the affirmative defense.
Maybe prosecution could stack a new jury better though. If they do retry, that's likely what they'll be counting on.
