Why is the judge playing Jeopardy with Rittenhouse Jury?

submitted by Flabbygasted to whatever 3.5 yearsNov 1, 2021 12:02:14 ago (+5/-0)     (whatever)

The answer for one of the questions was a quote by Sam Johnson:
"Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel."

I dont know the context of that quote, taken out of context however, it sounds like if anyone in the jury wants to be patriotic, they will be deemed a scoundrel.

I dont have an exact timestamp, but it hasn't been going on too long. Here's a link to the trial if interested.

There's no way to know without the full context.

True. Just seems like an inappropriate activity for judge and jury to engage in. That quote was just one of the few questions I listened to... I skipped ahead.

Another question was about playboy bunnies. Not necessarily a huge deal, just think it's kinda weird.

He only wants jurors that were shot by Kyle.

They should give him his gun back then. I'm sure this will be a real fair trial.

They were just waiting for all the jurors to file in or something procedural was happening: it was a fun way to kill time in the courtroom.

Answer is “this man is a patriot who acted in self defense”

Anybody know the clue?

How many antifa and niggers on the jury.... thats the only deciding factor here on whether Kyle walks or not

A judge can vacate a jury's guilty verdict and set someone free and he can't be retried.

A few were dismissed because, as they put it, guns made them too upset. Seems like a lot of the jurors they kept were all for gun ownership.

It's normal for a judge to kill time while waiting for things to get started. I believe that one of the lawyers was not ready at that time.
