A comment on Martin Shkreli is found guilty of securities fraud. Parent comment
I personally agree with following:
* Defendant being dick or unpleasant should not affect guilty/not guilty verdict in fair justice system.
* Defendant being charismatic or seemingly intelligent should not affect guilty/not guilty verdict in fair justice system either.
* A panel of judges with specialised experience often makes a lot more sense than a jury.
