Wow, it is almost like a place where juries let people off on the gay panic defense is a place that is unsafe to be as a trans person.

weird how "gay panic" is a defense allowed by the courts, but an appeal to jury nullification is not.

Do other countries not have juries?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Some other countries (and just a couple US states) explicitly ban the gay panic defense.

Are other countries juries exposed to our media ecosystem (in the same way) which the US government supports and which pushes vile transphobia constantly?
