I normally try to tag everyone I can if I’m the first person posting it, but that’s impossible here, so I’ll cherrypick a few to tag.

When people can accept dragons, giants and fucking ice zombies in a show but black people is too far for their imagination to stretch 😂😂😂

The show has DRAGONS for fucks sake it shouldnt be hard to throw in more POC

The primary reason people think there weren’t people of color in those areas in those times is because MEDIA NEVER PORTRAYS THEM AS BEING THERE.

*whispers*  There were Black people in the British Isles as far back as Roman times.

Jury nullification. Pass it on.

Jury nullification is so fucking important.

This is something that more people should be aware of, if only because (in many states, at least) defense attorneys are actually prohibited from mentioning it to jurors. The law allows a jury to return a “not guilty” verdict contrary to the facts of the case, but not for the defense to inform them of that power or to argue for its application in the current trial.

I didn’t know about this. Wow.

always reblog

This is SUPER IMPORTANT and also a good reason to show up for jury duty. You know all those laws you think are stupid? This is your chance to maybe do something about it. 

I…. I thought this was common knowledge… signal boosting this because it obviously isn’t!

Did not know this

Jury nullification in the United States has its origins in colonial British America. Similar to British law, in the United States jury nullification occurs when a jury in a criminal case reaches a verdict contrary to the weight of evidence, sometimes because of a disagreement with the relevant law.

extremely important: you cannot let the Judge know YOU know about this or you will not serve on that jury to even try this out.

@bemusedlybespectacled is this real?

Yes, it is! There’s actually a pretty fascinating documentary from the late 80s (it was a Frontline episode) called Inside the Jury Room that shows people coming to the conclusion themselves that they shouldn’t convict, even though the guy definitely committed the crime (he’s been arrested for being a felon in possession of a weapon, and he was a felon with a weapon, but it becomes clear through trial that he has severe mental disabilities that made him not realize that he’d committed a crime).
