I’m not a historian, but here’s a link to a great answer by /u/UrAccountabilibuddy while you’re waiting!

Hope you get answers on your question.

Hello everyone,

If you are a first time juror (or defendant), welcome! This thread is trending high on the docket right now, but it is important to remember the upvotes garnered in the discovery represent interest in the case itself, and it can often take time for the prosecution to present acceptable oral arguments (played back here from the transcript) for the jury to review. The mission of /r/AskHistorians is to provide users with in-depth and comprehensive responses, and our rules are intended to prevent being in contempt of court. Comments which don't follow these rules are inadmissible for reasons including unfounded speculation, shallowness, and of course, inaccuracy. Submitting inadmissible comments, even bona fide material, that inquiries about the removed comments simply compounds this issue. So please, before you try your hand at posting, check out the rules, as we don't want to have to warn you further.

Of course, we know that it can be frustrating to come in here from your frontpage or /r/all and see only [removed], but we thank you for your patience. If you want to be reminded to come check back later, or simply find other great content to read while you wait, this thread provides a guide to a number of ways to do so, including the RemindMeBot- Click Here to Subscribe - or our Twitter.

Finally, while we always appreciate feedback, it is unfair to the OP to further derail this thread with META conversation, so if anyone has further questions or concerns, the judge(s) would ask that they be directed to modmail, or a META thread. Thank you!
