@Geri How can someone be arrested just for pointing out that jury nullification exists as a matter of established legal doctrine?

@Geri well I hope the police are now prosecuted for contempt of court or harassment, after all this was clearly legal.

@Geri All while MPs lie as a matter of daily life. An insane distortion of values.

@Geri Starmer's regime is making Thatcher's Britain look like a liberal paradise.

@Geri I wonder if cops ever get tired being the boot of the State even without being asked.

@Geri apparently the police are unclear on the concept (or the court)

@Geri better #altText (AFAIK): "BREAKING: TRUDI WARNER ARRESTED outside Woolwich Crown Court while holding a sign" "She was doing nothing illegal - except the police had slapped a 'Section 14' order a mile wide around the court overnight" Picture shows 6 police officers confronting an older, white-haired woman sitting on a folding chair, and another person sitting on the pavement, both holding signs that read "Jurors have an absolute right to acquit a defendant according to their conscience"

@Geri Surely this means she can sue the cops and judges will start holding prosecutors accountable for bringing frivolous charges? I sure hope so. "She was arrested for "intimidation of a jury" but at trial Mr. Justice Saini ruled in her favour, saying she was only stating the law outside a courthouse, and that can not be illegal "She was arrested again last week for doing exactly the same thing as were many others"

@Geri Isn't doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different outcome a sign of madness?

@Geri Complete commandeering of due legal process. It directly attacks innocent free speech.
