MATZ' BREAKS THE LAW, AGAIN.
JURY INSTRUCTIONS
"So the "seeing" and the "saying" and the questioning
and the process that leads up to the actual selection of those
people who wind up serving is all about making sure that people
are in a position to rule on the case, after looking at the
evidence, hearing the evidence, applying the law that the judge
tells them about, and making their own judgments about who is
telling the truth or what's been proven and what hasn't been
proven.
We are the first nation on earth to give that awesome
power to ordinary citizens. The idea of having a jury was
first conceived in England more than 800 years ago. But when
we framed our own Constitution in 1787, we made it a
constitutional right that people enjoy and have.
And we could not have functioned as a nation, and we
could not have developed our system, which has problems in it, which isn't perfect, lots of flaws and difficulties that we
encounter all the time, but the central point is that we give a
lot of power to you. I
and you, in turn, have a need to assure us that you
are going to exercise that power unfairly and partially. So
that's what this is all about.
Now, the way we are going to go about picking a jury
in this case is as follows:
I'm going to ask you certain questions about general issues.
I'll be reading you the names of the people who are expected to testify in the government's case.
I'll be telling
you about how long this trial will last. I'll be giving you
information about the dates that we will be in trial and the
dates during the course of the trial that we cannot be in
trial, that you would be free to go about your business.
When you have information to give me and answers to
give me, while you are still sitting where you are currently sitting, please signify that you have something that you need
to let me know simply by raising your hand.
An indictment was returned after certain evidence was presented. And when indictments are returned by grand juries, the individuals who are being investigated or about to be
accused of a crime don't even have a right necessarily to be present. "
Even if they are not under investigation, too! Or
if they are not even in the state. It's too complex for you the jury to think about without an expert, or three, to help you understand it, so don't worry, it's not prudent to worry. Probably.
Suspicion that viewpoint discrimination is afoot is at its zenith when the speech restricted is speech critical of the government," Ridley v. Mass. Bay Transp. Auth., 390 F.3d 65, 86 (1st Cir. 2004)
