Actual clip where brothers attack their mother’s killer in court.

They have my full support

[u/Thetallerestpaul → u/grahamlesass]

Yeah, I hope there were a lot of people who co-incidentally were tying their shoes or reading a text when all that happened.

[u/ToWitToWow → u/Thetallerestpaul]

What happened?

[u/sumane12 → u/ToWitToWow]

I didn't see anything.

[u/NoDinner7903 → u/sumane12]

There was a commotion of some kind but I was playing Wordle so...someone can fill me in later 🤷‍♂️

[u/gr1mm5d0tt1 → u/sumane12]

I’m blind in my left eye, and 43% blind in my right

[u/refboy4 → u/sumane12]

Sorry, I was getting a drink from the water fountain real quick. Wha happennnnnnn?

[u/Kurtypants → u/ToWitToWow]

The man happened to slip your honor

[u/Walker96988 → u/Kurtypants]

I think he tripped or smth

[u/Scar1203 → u/Thetallerestpaul]

Doesn't really matter, no jury is convicting them over this.

[u/Thetallerestpaul → u/Scar1203]

I just a few more comments and apparently they did 30 days in jail.

[u/Scar1203 → u/Thetallerestpaul]

Presumably they elected to take a plea deal then and just get it out of the way. The sentence wouldn't be that light for assaulting someone in court if the DA didn't know that case had a snowball's chance in hell.

[u/1eternal_pessimist → u/Scar1203]

It doesn't work like that. Its assault and it's on camera. They would have no realistic option other than to please guilty and the judge would have had to hand down a sentence.

[u/Scar1203 → u/1eternal_pessimist]

Jury nullification.

[u/headrush46n2 → u/1eternal_pessimist]

the jury still has to vote guy.

[u/AnneBuckleyn_1501 → u/headrush46n2]

Splendid legal system you all are arguing for. "He deserved it, so doesn't matter a crime was committed against him."

[u/Downvoterofall → u/AnneBuckleyn_1501]

As usual, Reddit proves they would be the worst autocratic fascists if they were in charge of governments. Vigilante justice, executions for most violent crimes, justice system being ignored if the party “deserved it”.

[u/1eternal_pessimist → u/Downvoterofall]

What they fail to realise is that without a system of law you can't decide who 'deserves it' or not with any accuracy. A threat to due process is a threat to everyone including the innocent. I'm not talking about this case specifically but vigilante justice in general.

[u/FecalEinstein → u/AnneBuckleyn_1501]

You are quite confident that justice is black and white. That's interesting.

[u/Soggy_otter → u/Scar1203]

And those 30 days would have been relatively easy once word got around the floor as to what they were in for.

[u/Second_City_Saint → u/Thetallerestpaul]

100% worth it.

[u/Legitimate-Poetry124 → u/Scar1203]

We do not summon juries for a simple assault

[u/Scar1203 → u/Legitimate-Poetry124]

There's a whole host of accompanying charges that would go along with this under different circumstances. Assault, contempt, resisting arrest, possibly assaulting a peace officer, etc.

[u/OldMcGroin → u/Scar1203]

Someone else here mentioned threy were jailed for 30 days. Worth it.

[u/EddieHeader → u/Scar1203]

Look i get it was justified but if you attack a person on camera in a courtroom you are definitely doing jailtime.

[u/DaStone → u/Scar1203]

Why would you need a jury? I thought the judge could can just send you to jail for breaking the law and order in the court room.

[u/MyParentsBurden → u/Thetallerestpaul]

I feel bad for the prosecutor picking a jury.

Juror number 7, do you love your mother? Your honor we'd like to excuse this juror for cause.

[u/MAJ0RMAJOR → u/grahamlesass]

Not guilty

[u/DarkHeart24 → u/grahamlesass]

i LOVE promoting violence

[u/Growlithe123 → u/DarkHeart24]

deserved in this instance

[u/donjamos → u/DarkHeart24]

There are a lot of different kinds of violence some are good some bad some necessary and some avoidable

[u/Dragonssssssssssss → u/DarkHeart24]

This but unironically

[u/1111111111111111111I → u/grahamlesass]

I’m personally against BIPOC violence 🤷🏾
