Your excellent substack makes one wonder (at least those you can still think) how many judges fully instruct juries of the extent of their duty as a juror. I would guess that whatever the percentage, it is becoming smaller as the number of politicized or weaponized judges increases. No matter your opinion of the man, this makes one question not only the judges but the charges against Donald Trump. The recent NY case makes one wonder why it wasn't a jury trial. Things being as they are, there is a strong (overwhelming?) argument that the government United States is no functioning under the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
How many judges properly instruct juries? NONE! It goes against the status quo. We are not taught about the Jury. Red Beckman's BORN AGAIN REPUBLIC (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/29080551-born-again-republic) was my wakeup call back in the 1980s. My father thought I was NUTS. He said do you realize that if the jury did what they wanted they would let off people charged with smoking marijuana? To which I said... SO? Victimless crimes like the one Matt Hoover was charged with by the ATF HAVE GOT TO GO OR SOMEONE needs to PAY.
My stack is mainly to wake up sleeping lions. So if you find yourself getting mad, don't be surprised! As Howard Beal said in "Network" GET MAD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwMVMbmQBug And to think that movie was made in 1976.
My husband was once on a Grand Jury for thirteen weeks. He instructed his fellow jurors on jury nullification as well as their right to judge the justice of the laws. The prosecutors were not always pleased with him.
The prosecutor wasn't present. He just noticed the affect once the Grand Jury gave their deliberation and, as my husband was the spokesperson, he knew who was to blame.

Well done, Courageous Lion. Just signed up for your substack, so I'll have to check past writings.

He should have been doing the teaching back in the room where the prosecutor isn't allowed. Or do they ignore that provision in that jurisdiction?

Aw...how sad for the persecutor. Errrr....prosecutor.
