I prosecuted in a very heavily White area. Jury trials aren't only failing because of ethnic tribalism. They're failing in large part because a jury's expectation of evidence is cartoonishly high, completely divorced from reality. They expect *everything* to be on video nowadays. They're also failing because juries are more prone to nullification than ever before. Not for any principled reason, such as believe the crime was just, but that they simply don't trust the state to charge and punish people properly and/or they don't care. E.g., I've had DUI cases where someone who was OBVIOUSLY guilty was acquitted. Multiple. In one of them I spoke to the jury afterward and they flat out told me "All the evidence was there." They just felt bad for the defendant and wanted to go home. They're also failing because judges and statutes are more pro-criminal than ever before. Judge Example: In a prosecution for DV Assault, I was prohibited from introducing evidence the Defendant having assaulted the victim previously, despite the fact the law in our jurisdiction explicitly allows for this, because the judge felt it was "too prejudicial." (Btw, this Defendant testified and confessed to every single element on the stand and the jury still returned a verdict of Not Guilty.) Statute Example: I prosecuted a woman for stealing $400,000. By law, I could not even ask for jail time because it was her first offense. The Judge had no power to grant a sentence of jail time. If you try to break the collapse of the justice system down to being only an ethnic/tribal thing, you're going to fail, because that's not anywhere near the only issue.

All “big tent” and H*san P*ker discourse needs to conclude by 5:00pm on the east coast. We’ve all been very annoying, no one’s convinced anyone of anything, and the weather’s too nice to keep this up. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It’s gonna be funny forever that the first guy to actually do technocratic, “just make stuff work, stupid” governing is a democratic socialist whom the large majority of pundits who push such ideas were at best ambivalent about.
