Jury nullification is still a thing.
They're going to try to put this woman in federal prison for 50 years, and she probably knew that going in.
But jury nullification is still a thing.

We were legally unable to provide in-person tuition for long periods during the pandemic. We worked our arses off in absurd conditions. But because our thick-as-mince-and-just-as-venal bosses embraced the most insane funding arrangement in the world they’ll now get sued and we’ll pay the price.

Members care deeply about the values of trade unionism, we must now uphold those values. The victimisation of @uniteucu.bsky.social reps must end. Ditto the bullying & threatening of members with ucu policies if they dare to speak out. Authoritarianism has no place in a union. 2/3
