Exactly the American Court System where some are deemed thugs, or crimimals, or gangsters before they step into a court room, she is simply trying to erase the image.
I get it but it's posturing and I'm wired to not liking posturing but I'm also a realist. She's trying to burn out the weeds ahead of the fire to help stop the fire. The truth, I didn't think black man + gun = thug. What I really thought was @Yankee Traveler likes guns but otherwise seems a lot like me so there's a good chance Jack too is a lot like me. I also think Ja is posing like a thug (meaning he isn't one but wants to look like one) and question why he would take that pose.
It is traditional "lawyer speak"
That's BULLSHIT. If the facts of the case purely dictate he's guilty then nobody will be judged as anything based on the verdict. This isn't the OJ case where there was a degree of separation between the accused and the crime scene which allowed doubt to be cast over every piece of evidence. Mark Fuhrman did not plant the victims at the crime scene.... either loaded guns were in the bag or they weren't, and the bags either were his or they weren't.
Did he or did he not have guns at the airport will be the only relevant question for a jury. That was where my response was directed. I've posted over and over that race can still be an issue, especially the association with the term thug.
Correct the fact he had guns at the airport should be the only factor considered. If found guilty sentencing becomes questionable. Would Jack Jones get the same sentencing as Julian Edelman had the roles been reversed. One question comes to mind, if he is considered a thug how do we find a jury of thug peers?
Evidently you don't know how courts work.

Very likely what will happen
"Being dumb" will be part of his defense!
It's interesting that in MA and out of stater needn't register their weapons, gun laws are pretty strict in MA. Also of note is the magazine capacity, maybe in AZ that rule does not apply so he was just bringing his shit with him completely unaware. It said something about the the guns being in a box seems that the requirement for transport may have been met.Must read!
Two interesting numbers relevant to Jack Jones' situation
Yet with the arraignment now over, and with nearly two months until the probable cause hearing, perhaps that initial reaction wave is nearing its end.
A lot of interesting facts to consider in the article.
It's not about courts, it's about cases in courts. Gray area can be manipulated but Jack's case doesn't have that. Did he have guns at the airport is the question.
Hmm...dumb you say?
Nope.
