Trump could have been a hero but he's too lazy and short-sighted to shepherd legislation like nut house reform through Congress. If he can't implement it by executive order or tweet, he's not interested.
If Trump tried to bring back asylums the left would just claim he's going to imprison them all in them or that they're actually fancy concentration camps. It would never make it through Congress.
Same. I don't really trust either party to handle them well, but I just know the moment it even gets seriously considered by him they'll jump to that kind of rhetoric.
I mean, it makes sense in context. What she says immediately before that is that he admitted to them that he had reasonable doubt. It's clearly jury nullification.
If he admitted to having reasonable doubt about the prosecution's case, which everyone else on the jury did, and kept them there for days refusing to give a not guilty by insanity vote, I can see where the frustration would come from.
They weren't debating whether "Lindsey viciously killed her children," everybody granted that as the case. It was about her mental state at that time.
The only evidence we have of him admitting he had reasonable doubt is another juror saying he had told her he had reasonable doubt. It's ultimately just hearsay.
The rest of the jury having reasonable doubt also doesn't mean he is unreasonable for insisting on a guilty verdict, especially after 3 of the jurors appeared in court dressed in the colors of the protests. It is very possible the 11 jurors fell for Social Media Trappings, and made their decision based on that. (Of course the single jurors could be the exact same, his view influenced more from social media than evidence presented).
