Long story short. Bigo wanted his trial to be in Arkansas. Too bad. Sentencing is not until may 3. And he is free until then.



Outside courthouse Bigo Barnett says he didn’t get a fair trial .. claiming he didn’t get a jury of his “peers”… I asked what that meant. And his attorney Joe McBride responded for Barnett

Barnett had testified he acted like a “f****ing idiot” but didn’t commit a crime (including in putting his feet on a Pelosi office desk)

Jury convicted him of all federal charges

1. I want a jury of my peers -- ya know, white male racist fascists who want to overthrow democracy.

[3Hotdogs]

9. Illiterate, white male racist fascists. The problem with getting that,

who's gonna read the jury summons to them so's they know when and where to show up?

[niyad]

2. May he, and his enablers, receive everything they deserve.

22. Bigo. . . as in "The Big O," "The BIG O," or Big O?

3. Where are you going to find a dozen stupid traitors who are free

And aren't awaiting sentencing for Jan 6?

[niyad]

4. 'a jury of my peers" always reminds me of Dan Fielding in "Night Court". "A jury

of my PEERS?? Twelve people who were not bright enough to get OUT of jury duty??"

[UpInArms]

5. Wow ... what a clueless money sucking fuck of an attorney

The crime was committed in Washington, D.C., not Arkansas …

So, you get people who live in that jurisdiction.

The FAFO guy should have stayed in Arkansas doing whatever scam he had running there.

[GGoss]

6. C'mon... You Really Think You Can Find 12 Of These That A Judge Would Seat ???

[Jim__]

7. If he wanted a jury from Arkansas, he should have committed his crime in Arkansas.

[TomSlick]

11. Exactly.

The appropriate venue is the site in which the crime was committed and the witnesses are located.

[moondust]

8. Fake trial! Rigged jury! Stop the steal!

Amirite, Bigo Pigo?

Now go to your cell and cry.

[yankee87]

14. Stolen trial

Get 45 to help you and have an insurrection on your behalf

[Lunabell]

10. He should've committed his crime in Arkansas then.

Or, not at all!

[Deuxcents]

12. What about his friend in the photo smearing feces on the wall? Where is he?

[AZSkiffyGeek]

13. Doesn't that mean his lawyer didn't do his job?

Don't they have to approve or object to jurors? So if it wasn't his peers, doesn't that mean his lawyer didn't object to them?

19. Within limits.

A defendant (or prosecutor) can challenge juror, but that may be limited or need to be justified.

The process is called "voire dire." A challenge may be peremptory (for any reason, but IIRC that's a bit altered recently) or for cause.

If "for cause" there's a good reason for rejecting a person as unsuitable. You're a black defendant and find that a person is a KKK member. Or a rich person and a person is communist who regularly posts how every rich person should be jailed.

There are a certain number of peremptory challenges. A defendant can reject a juror for any reason. Last I heard, this was under dispute because in some trials the challenges had a clear problematic bias. Don't know whatever happened with that line of restriction on a defendant's options.

Note that juror pools don't always reflect the community they're in.

15. Crybabies gotta cry...

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

16. he looked frightened today after verdict, in contrast to when he had his feet on Pelosi's desk

[Talitha]

17. He's the perfect poster-boy for 'Fuck Around and Find Out'.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

18. lol! yeah

[TheBlackAdder]

20. No clowns. The circus doesn't show up in that area for another 3 months.

[PatSeg]

21. Sorry Bigo

Looks like most of your peers have already been indicted.
