I have a novel idea. How about we have trials and let juries decide?

I'm making a serious and not a flippant point here. So often we imagine we can decide matters of crime and punishment quickly and easily based on tribal allegiance and political sympathy, when really they present complex issues that deserve a full, orderly hearing in court.

I'm not saying every jury decision is correct. But I trust it a lot more than pundits trying to score points on TV before they turn to the next subject they've spent a total of 5 minutes thinking about.

Five minutes is generous.

Daniel Penny was was acquitted after killing a young man.

and this is why I can't watch CNN anymore.

Juries don’t decide good guys and bad guys or left and right, you’re as far off the mark as Scott

What can we try Scott Jennings for, though?

worldcitizen1994.bsky.social•123 days ago

Good points all. Jennings is a smug jackass.

redrowdy.bsky.social•123 days ago

Karma.. you get back what you put out.

josechapa.bsky.social•123 days ago

Hey @cnn.com how about you hire credible talking heads instead of this thumb for a head?

banksta.bsky.social•123 days ago

I cannot stand that hypocritical guy. I can’t listen to anything he has to say. He makes me want to hurl. 🤮

blueinsoillinois.bsky.social•123 days ago

Why are you watching CNN?

thormaxwell.bsky.social•123 days ago

This killer comes from a GOP family. A family member is a GOP member of the Maryland Senate. This killer is not BLUE in any way. This clown is a bog mouthed liar!!

longislander.bsky.social•123 days ago

Ah who cares what he thinks? Turn CNN off.

jordo2323.bsky.social•124 days ago

We can't. CNN needs clicks.

pboyne3.bsky.social•123 days ago

He continues to insult the audience. He should join Matt Gaetz at OANN

The jury got it wrong, imho.
I am not condoning anyone killing anyone. period.

mspeggyhill.bsky.social•123 days ago

Would like some kind of jury to decide if this guy is worthy of the enormous platform he is gifted by CNN. I vote nay.

shannonlast.bsky.social•123 days ago

I’d be interested to see where he places, say, Kyle Rittenhouse

wolfpacfive.bsky.social•123 days ago

My only note would be, because I listen so much to Popehat, is that trials and juries do not decide who the good guys and bad guys are, they decide matters of law.

Right?

phineasbaxterrohde.bsky.social•123 days ago

Why is anyone watching this drivel?

42eyes2ears.bsky.social•123 days ago

CNN decided to compete with Fox and not suffer $1bn/yr in judgements, they'd piss you off with 1 insufferable dude a day instead of the entire staff all day.

shankspeare.bsky.social•123 days ago

Well they did. It's actually printed, stamped, and initialled. This is who Murica is.

sanhatake.bsky.social•122 days ago

The oligarchs are trying to bait us into an argument over these cases. Let’s NOT take the bait. It distracts all of us while they continue to hoard all our resources.

This is like watching a bunch of mental ward patients slap each other with fishes.
