I’m not sure that’s true. Even a person with a great deal of integrity and respect for the law is going to be biased subconsciously to some extent by the knowledge that this case may change the outcome of a particularly important presidential election. A person whose respect for the law is less than absolute may even consider affecting the outcome of the election to be a moral obligation.
I agree. I am autistic and was a jury foreman about 20 years ago. It was pretty awesome, and I was helping keep the other jurors in line, reminding them when evidence submitted was deemed immaterial and not to be considered in our verdict…all that stuff. 10/10 Would perform my civic duty again (12/10 with rice)
It would be an honor and a privilege to be on Pissbaby Don’s jury just to have the opportunity to find him guilty, but I’d have to avoid a for cause strike to do so. Thankfully, part of my autistic skill set is that I happen to be a fantastic liar. I don’t lie to people I care about, apart from spinning fantastic tales and then saying, “Naw, I’m just fucking with you. 😏”
For Joe Schmo, rules-based impartiality. For Republican politicians, self-affirmed white supremacist, shit-stirring talking head bigots, and JK Rowling though, get fucked, here come your god-damned consequences.

Hi government please choose me as juror I definitely will not intentionally give him the maximum sentence
The sentence isn’t determined by the jury.
More autistic people should be jurors. It would be the perfect job for certain autistic people who are very rules based.
