33 Capitol protesters seek jury trials after arrests

1. Everyone arrested ought to demand jury trials.

First, Dane County juries just may decide not to convict people. Pretty hard to seat a jury from Madison with no members who participated in the 2011 Uprising.

Second, it just plugs up the system & dramatically raises the cost to the state of messing with people. The Dane Co. DA could blow his entire budget on this nonsense.

There is a jury fee the defendants must pay, but it is small & many of ys would pony up a few bucks to cover the fees for any hardship cases.
