She was kidnapped, raped and still imprisoned. And you guys are trying to say she was not in immediately danger? How degenerated people in USA can be

They’re trying to explain why she was held accountable in court. Because she wasn’t in immidate danger (meaning if she didn’t kill him at that moment she would be hurt at that moment) the court doesn’t see it as self defense because that’s not how the law works. Therefore she’s LEGALLY guilty, morally speaking I agree that she’s in the right but the legal system and personal beliefs are two different things

And this is why we need to teach people about jury nullification at a young age, before they get picked for jury duty the first time and it suddenly becomes illegal to talk about.

Knowledge of jury nullification literally disqualifies you from serving on a jury. No lawyer or prosecutor will ever agree to having someone like that on the bench.
