Legal Insurrection: The jurors “had involuntarily received ‘push notifications’ on their smartphones that contained the bottom-line of the ruling”.
Judge Jed Rakoff pulled a highly unusual move as the jury in Sarah Palin’s defamation case against the NY Times was deliberating. He ruled that he would dismiss the case based on Palin’s alleged failure to prove a key element of her claim.
The move was very strange because normally if a case is not proven, a judge rules on legal insufficiency either before the jury gets the case, or after it returns its verdict. That way there is a clean issue for appeal.
Since the jury was not sequestered, there was a strong likelihood that the jury would learn of the ruling before it reached its own conclusion.
This note from the jury during deliberations seemed unusually legalistic: more
Welcome to the great reset. Please buckle your seat belts. It’s gonna get bumpy!
That’s a lot of words just to say that the judge is either a moron or engaged in deliberate judicial misconduct by revealing his decision early.
Sarah, I was kicked to the curb just like yesterday’s trash.
Did I read that right – Judge Jed Jakoff??
robe-dindus, keep sucking grobama dick
TRF, take his name as a descriptor: he’s a Red Jackoff.
Judges that sodomize our system of justice like that need to be punished in a special way. I’d like to see a reenactment of the drownings they did in Salem, MA to the “witches”.
Well, the state’s desired outcome was obtained with the least opportunity for the deplorable to pursue a remedy.
There can be no reason for any member of the proletariat to complain.
Justice was done. Now, back to your work and let this be a lesson to you all.
John McCain damaged Palin more than the NY Times did. Everyone sees what their enemies are trying to do. It’s your turncoat allies that you need to watch.
Still think the constitution is the “Law of the Land?” Still think any election is going to restore sanity? Still think the United States OF AMERICA is still a thing?
If you do, I have a bridge in Bourne, MA for sale …cheap!
Still think your swamp creature is human?
The Constitution is still MY law, especially the second amendment.
