packing a jury

A quick definition of packing a jury:

Packing a jury is when someone tries to make sure that the people on a jury are already leaning towards one side or the other. This is not fair because a jury is supposed to be made up of people who are impartial and can make a decision based on the evidence presented in court. It is also called jury-packing and is not allowed because it is like cheating.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Packing a jury refers to the act of intentionally selecting jurors who are biased towards one side or the other in a legal case. This is done in order to increase the chances of a favorable verdict for the party doing the packing.

Example: If a prosecutor in a criminal case were to intentionally select jurors who have a history of being tough on crime, they would be guilty of packing the jury. Similarly, if a defense attorney were to select jurors who have a history of being sympathetic to defendants, they would also be guilty of packing the jury.

These examples illustrate how packing a jury can be used to manipulate the outcome of a trial by stacking the deck in favor of one side or the other. This is considered unethical and illegal, as it undermines the fairness and impartiality of the legal system.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
