Marijuana Use Causes 7 Fold Increased Risk of Violent Behavior (brainfacts.org)

 

I have to agree with you on this.

Cannabis ****s your brain up over time, its well documented

 

It can turn people into reclusive lazy paranoid wasters .

It doesn't make black people stab each other or Muslims to carry out Jihad

 

Or pikeys steal dogs and catalytic converters.

 

Quite right, but anyone who follows Islam is a brick short of a load in the first place. and black men are inherently more violent than white people.

 

Some of the drivers took the knee before the Qatar GP. They'll be telling everyone about the sports environmental godliness next.

 

There are non jury trials in the UK

 

Sections 44 to 50 of Part 7 of the Criminal Justice Act (CJA 2003) provide for non-jury trial in cases where there is danger of jury tampering or where jury tampering has taken place. This allows the prosecution to apply for the trial to be conducted without a jury and for a jury to be discharged during the course of the trial.

 

Glad you agree with me

 

yes it makes sense to me if there's a likelihood of jury tampering

 

Yeah maybe, maybe not. You’re ok with them in the uk but not America?

 

I didnt say that did I?

 

You didn’t say anything you posted a tweet from a guy bemoaning non jury trials as an attack on freedom.


The Northern Ireland Office's explanatory notes for the 2007 act characterise its changes as "repeal" of "the Diplock system" and its replacement with "a new system of non-jury trial".[15] On the other hand, courts in such trials have much the same format as the pre-2007 Diplock courts,[19] and have been called "Diplock courts" in the media.[1][20]

Britain has been doing it for decades

 

Isn't it usually just traffic offenses and civil matters?


A serious murder trial like Rittenhouse would be an Old Bailey jury trial

 

No, all Republicans go through non jury trials, and Loyalists too when the PSNI bother their arse arresting them.

 

To be fair I wouldn't want to be on the jury for a kneecapping case

 

Funny thing is that it’s a rarity for someone to be charged with Kneecapping. The cops don’t mind as it keeps the scum off the streets.

 

does that still happen in Belfast?
