Smackdown2019 (766 posts)Rittenhouse Judge screwed up!Citing the Bible in open court can be a violation of the Jurors Constitutional Bill of Rights. Freedom of religion is a bill of right and when a juror is ordered to listen to a religionish passage, the judge violated his oath of office.A Juror is a private citizen to be part of the judicial system, but their bill of rights shall be upheld at all times.
FBaggins (23,361 posts)3. Not sure where you got that ideaThere is no such proscription. Judges have been citing the Bible for as long as we’ve had a judiciary.My understanding is that he was instructing the court on the concept of hearsay… which does indeed connect to rights that go back to biblical times.

He wasn't proselytizingHe told a story about Roman law to get across the point that how we treat hearsay during trials has been a component in law for thousands of years.It was a nothing burger.The way people are reacting, you'd think he'd jumped into the jury box and asked if they know Jesus.
OMG! Rittenhouse is TOAST! The judge did....something?
Or Rittenhouse has Legs! The judge made toast!
They absolutely never cease to amaze me. Even after all these years. The mental gymnastics they are willing to go through to justify their hate, opinion, and point of view is just … wow!KC
But, but, but... he crossed AR-15 lines with an illegally obtained state! And then murdered some of the fires!

If Conclusion Jumping and Mental Gymnastics were Olympic sports, DUmmies would own the medal platforms.
