I wouldn't worry about that. Here is the jury selection process (at least in NSW) If the defence believes an Afghan (f one happened to be selected) would be prejudiced to the defence, they can challenge, as can the prosecution. The Jury Selection Process: Selection: The Sheriff randomly selects people from the NSW electoral roll within a court's district. Notice and Summons: Residents receive a notice of inclusion for a 12-month period, followed by a summons to attend court on a specific date. Eligibility: Most people registered to vote are eligible, though some criminal convictions, legal disqualifications, or occupations (e.g., police) may exclude them. Exemption: Individuals can request to be excused for reasons like health, undue hardship, or prior service. Empanelling (The Ballot): At court, the Judge's Associate randomly draws cards from a ballot box to select 12 jurors for a trial. Challenges: The defense and crown can each challenge (object to) up to three potential jurors without giving a reason.

Ben is done for if there are any Afghans or muslims on the jury.

Our Planet is a delicately balanced Place ideal for us to Live in. Why do we destroy it so readily? Are we so stupid?

Is it in the Genes or the way He was Brought Up. Read niece, Mary Trumps book.( I have) She should know the facts and is a qualified psychologist. Nev

NO I'd be breaking my own rules it I did. and (THAT is NOT a Cop Out). You under-rate the Judges responsibility. Public comment can Make a Fair trial Unlikely, The Trial is happening Now. Nev

It's the jury which will have the hard job. The judge is simply there to see that the game is played by the rules. So, Nev, are you thinking abour replying to my friendly challenge?

People often express disbelief that a gas making up only 0.04% of the atmosphere could have any meaningful impact. Consider ozone (03). Its concentration varies with altitude, peaking between about 15 km and 35 km at just 2–8 parts per million (ppm). By comparison, carbon dioxide (CO₂) sits around 420–425 ppm and is rising by roughly 2.4–2.6 ppm per year. Ozone exists in far smaller concentrations than CO₂, yet its role is critical—without the ozone layer, life on Earth would not survive. Small percentages can still have enormous effects.

Amputation of the head fixes it. Nev

I like this, from the article... "unveiled Buddharoid, a humanoid robot monk" Sounds like something you can get a cream for.

There's a few other spawn that are just as bad as their old man.

How does that Help the Problems we now face about the effect of human activity on the Climate?. nev

It Will be a hard job for the Jury and the Judge. They are the Ones to deal with it , not the Law of Public Opinion. Nev

I think that those were fair comments, not likely to affect any juror. I was just saying that in my opinion, being on that jury is going to be a hard job.

Send him up the Hill on Lookout duty.? or He could hold one end of the wireless airiel ? Nev

While an Australian trial would be conducted according to the accepted rules, the assessment of the evidence is in the mind of the jurors, who are going to be selected from "the person in the street'. Nex, I make a friendly challenge to you, with out wanting to raise you hackles. Take a bit of time today and think what your decision would be, based on what information you have at the moment. I know that you have great analytical skills. Put them to use in answering my challenge. I look forward, without bias, to hearing your answer.

I don't think you should Making such comments OME with the trial in Progress. Nev

That is probably the fear - that he goes in, becomes a regular grunt and gets killed so that the Trump dynasty dies.

One of the causes of a major sea level rise was the release of unimaginable amound of water caused by the collapse of the North American (Laurentide) Ice Sheet which caused a catastrophic rise in global sea level led to the flooding of the Black Sea and drove dramatic social change across Europe. The collapse of the Laurentide Ice Sheet released a deluge of water that increased global sea levels by up to 1.4 metres. This increase in sea level and associated coastal flooding resulted in the submerging Doggerland. Doggerland was a large area of land in Northern Europe in the southern North Sea. We know the area as the Dogger Bank. Ther are many otehr places identified in oral histories that relate to this global rise in sea level. The flooding of the land bridges between Tasmania and the continent, and in the area of the Timor Sea. Speaking of Sydney, the harbour is the result of rising sea levels flooding old valleys. The same applies to Botany Bay. Local area Aboriginal stories carry nuggets of truth about the effects of rising sea levels.

He'd be perfect in the infantry & when in a foxhole could stand up & see further than anyone else. Mind you the enemy could see him better than anyone else too.

The Australian court system is as good or Better than Most and it's NOT the Government 's decision to Prosecute cases, unlike the USA, and plenty of other places you wouldn't want to live in. Nev

Melania won't let her little precious be exposed to any risks. Nev

On this One I suggest you seek other opinions and more facts I can't find any that support the above assertions. Nev

Apparently Barron is too tall according to the physical standards. I can see how height would be a disadvantage in fitting into some equipment, like a tank, but there are many other occupations in the military where tallness would not matter. Maybe he could be trained to be a drone operator, or a communications operator.

Therin lies the rub for the criminal trail. "Highly likely" is not "beyond a reasonable doubt". I've been thinking what I would do if I was selected as a jury member for this trial. I've been influenced by the reporting of the evidence in the Civil trial. I've been influenced by my experience in investigating alleged crimes, which I hope I always did completely fairly. This trial is all going to depend on how the jury deals with the evidence of witnesses. I fear a lot of evidence might be hearsay, but are there witnesses who can say that they saw him do things that immediately resulted in the prisoners being shot? There doesn't seem to be any physical evidence, so any decision will seem to be based on circumstantial evidence. In other words, how will the evidence deal with any doubts in the minds of the jurers?

Only in Amerika..... Look! Jesus loves science! You can now ask Jesus anything via A.I. "For some evangelical Christians, faith is about having a personal relationship with Jesus. At $1.99 per minute, the tech company Just Like Me is taking that concept to a new level." I expect AI jesus can interpret Aramaic..... https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/buddhabot-1-99-chats-ai-110406192.html
