Good luck finding a jury who will convict an innocent man. I'd buy him a beer.

Unfortunately his lawyers will tell him to make a plea deal before it even gets to a jury

Let's hope he's smarter than that.

If everyone banded together and refused to ever take a plea deal, it would completely overwhelm our justice system and make it impossible not to enact reform.

The government literally doesn't have the resources to take everyone they imprison to trial, and they need the private prisons filled. If they can't fill the cots, private equity moves somewhere profitable.

Once theyre gone, they stop paying lobbyists, once there's no prison lobbyists, no politician is really going to give a fuck.

But it's literally a prisoner dilemma.

That's why you gotta bring it in parts, or build one up over time at the destination and replacing parts that deteriorate over time like a Guillotine of Thesus (this also makes it harder to prosecute because is it really the same guillotine).

A misdemeanor? What, is there a fine?

You are technically correct, the best kind of correct. Trucks kill people every day, last time a guillotine killed anyone "officially" was in 1977.

And he already had that completely normal bottle opener he brought with him.

The government literally doesn’t have the resources to take everyone they imprison to trial, and they need the private prisons filled.

Quick question: where do the people awaiting trial go?

Short term prisoners (convicted or not) usually go to jail, prison is typically for people sentenced to more than a year.

I see the mistake here. It has to be a gun/guillotine and then you're free to tote it in public.

Do we remember the gallows brought to the U.S. Capitol by the insurrectionists on January 6th?

And he's wasn't carrying the guillotine. It's too big to be carried by 1 person.

I’m sure. I seriously doubt that an operational guillotine small enough to be carried by a single person would be considered a threat to another person. possibly to a small animal.

Depends on the state, but either way it overwhelms all parts of the system.
