Word on the street, it was an all white jury from another county.

It was an all white jury, and I'd really like to know the basis for the acquittal.
My guess is that if white people don't see you throwing your hands behind your back, then you're resisting.
So wait a minute... these niggas was found not guilty, but there is a civil suit open that could pay out upwards of half a billie????
If i lived in Memphis I'd be STEAMING right now... you let these niggas off but now my tax dollars gotta foot the bill? I mean outside of the obvious miscarriage of justice that should have them pissed, this right here is literally salt on the wound type shit....

it's fucked up but they still got to do they fed time
and the two main ones.. already plead guilty on state and fed charges..
but like i said.. it's still fucked up because they went and got a jury from literally hillbilly bumfuck Tennessee..and they got off from the state charges.
Ooohhhhh OK gotcha. 2 of the 5 plead guilty to state and fed charges
These 3 already guilty on fed charges but beat the state charges
That sound about right?
A judge will not override a jury verdict - there has to be some kind of really in reliable undeniable proof of jury misconduct for a judge to set aside a verdict from a jury
And you can't be tried twice - once you have a trial and you're found not guilty thats it - prosecutor doesn't get a second chance to retry your case
You can on get a retrial if the jury doesn't come to a decision or there is a mistrial ( one of the lawyers did something procedurally wrong )
Its stunning to see how people domt know how our jury system works let alone apparently how voting works
You really should think before you post. A successful appeal of a case is not trying someone twice. Where did I say anything implying otherwise?
You say judge won't do it, but then says when can be done. So yes it can happen, rare or not.
you should read before you post
Double jeopardy is a legal principle enshrined in the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which prevents an individual from being tried twice for the same crime after either an acquittal or a conviction.
Fifth Amendment
a judge wont set aside a jury verdict IN A CRIMINAL PROCEEDING after a verdict has been made
in a criminal proceeding in this instance they would be trying him twice - a verdict is already rendered - the prosecution doesnt get to "appeal" a verdict only the defense does and that appeal is that some procedure or error in the process occured which should result in a reduced sentence ( likely ) or a new trial ( almost never ) .
a mistrial is granted based on the defendant's motion (or on the judge's motion but with defendant's consent), double jeopardy will generally not bar a second trial unless the defendant's motion or consent was prompted by prosecutorial misconduct that was intended to provoke a motion for mistrial..
that means the issue isnt the jurys verdict its the process of prosecution....

Appeal
Even after a defendant is found guilty, they can appeal to the Circuit Court if the defendant believes they were wrongly convicted or the sentence was too harsh. An appeal is not another trial but an opportunity for the defendant to try to raise specific errors that might have occurred at trial. A common appeal is that a decision from the judge was incorrect – such as whether to suppress certain evidence or to impose a certain sentence. Appeals are complicated and sometimes result in the case going back to the trial court. A specific conviction may be reversed, a sentence altered, or a new trial may be ordered altogether if the Appeals Court decides that particular course of action.
Even after an appeal is decided by a circuit court judge, a defendant can try to appeal that decision to the United States Supreme Court in Washington, D.C.
The United States Supreme Court — the highest appellate court in the American court system — makes the final decision concerning a defendant’s appeal. The Court is not required to hear an appeal in every case and takes only a small number of cases each year.
Now please stop embarrassing yourself and move the fuck on...listening to will have folks serving decades in jail or worse.

a prosecutor CANT appeal a criminal case to be retried after a verdict has been redered for ACQUITTAL !! (ie not guilty )
Re-read my original post and quote me where I said plaintiff or prosecution can file an appeal.
I'll wait
In the meantime, it's obvious you misunderstood my post. A proper verdict I was specifically referring to was a guilty on all charges. It was a response to the statement that was made about the jury fucking it up (not guilty verdict). If they were found guilty on any charges, the cops defense can file an appeal.
Based on all of this, what exactly did I say that was wrong.
Edit..I need to add this conversation was prior to the cops getting off on the state charges.
