DC Jurors "Extremely Biased" Toward J6ers
And 75% believe President Trump is to blame...
The Left continues its assault on our justice system with its focus on lawfare to try and quell the conservatives who oppose their Marxist plans for America.
For J6ers, not only are many being held in inhumane, cruel conditions in prison without trials (“punishment” for exercising 1st amendment rights, in many cases) — which upends the tenet of “innocent until proven guilty” — but what about having a fair trial before a jury of your peers?
Whether it’s President Trump or J6ers, there’s been no attempt at allowing changes of venue to guarantee such a fair trial; DOJ prosecutors adamantly insist fair trials are possible in D.C. Now a survey proves what we all know is true: The jury pool in D.C. is tainted because most believe all J6ers are “criminal insurrectionists.”
“Regardless of what they did,” participants were asked if “anyone who participated in the events at the Capitol on January 6 should serve prison time.” Most (51.4 percent) said they “strongly agree” and 17.4 percent said they “somewhat agree.” (…)
Asked if “Donald Trump and his supporters should be stopped a all costs,” 47.5 percent said they “strongly agree” and 21.1 percent said they “somewhat agree.” Far fewer (1.5 percent) said they “strongly disagree” or “somewhat agree” 6.4 percent).
Most (68.6 percent) say Jan. 6 protesters should be “punished to the fullest extent of the law to prevent anything like this from happening again” and that “America is a safer place with them in prison” (40.1 percent).
The overwhelming majority (80.1 percent) said they would serve as a juror if called, and most said they “strongly” (26.1 percent) or “somewhat” agree (13 percent) that they “want to be on that jury to make sure the defendant is found guilty and held accountable for the events of that day.”
The study conducted by Triton Polling and reported by The Epoch Times talked to 422 “jury eligible” D.C. residents early this year. Read more here (paywall-free link).
