That's a good bet, unless one of the TBA episodes says something even more specific.

Edit to clarify:

Close, you've combined two gags.

Bart, Lisa & Maggie are hiding from someone else.

I think so, from Dec 2022, https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/henry-cavill-warhammer-40000-amazon-1235283251

This article just adds,

The project recently gained momentum with the assembly of a mini-room, where writers collaborated to outline a creative direction for the series.

This teamwork has now paved the way for the TV series to proceed into development, though a showrunner has yet to be confirmed as negotiations continue.

So I guess progress has been made... But not much.

The thing about jury nullification is that it isn't a checkbox.

For example you could argue that the OJ Simpson murder trial was a case of jury nullification. It probably wasn't, the jury just came to a conclusion many people disagree with. In fact OJ was found guilty in the civil trial. Was it truly just the difference between "beyond a reasonable doubt" and "a preponderance of evidence"? Or was it jury nullification? Or were the jury idiots? (In which case?)

Rodney King was beaten by police officers but ultimately acquitted, was that jury nullification?

Kyle Rotten shot people but was ultimately acquitted, was that jury nullification?

Additionally, the same law that allows for jury nullification also allows for the opposite situation. Someone who definitely didn't commit the crime still being convicted.

I'm sure there are plenty of cases where an "unfair" verdict is rendered. Proving actual jury nullification is difficult, unless jurors actively speak out about it, which even then can be risky.

Ya hoo! Correct!

I've been watching week to week, I thought the first episode was a good start, the second was lacking, the third was confusing but interesting and the forth was good.

Overall I'm still not sure. I'm probably going to finish the season at this point. It's got potential, but I definitely have a hard time keeping track of what's going on.

I'd say give it a shot, but also maybe wait and binge it all at once.

Hold on to your points, everybody.

 

Basically instead of boring old football, we're going to get boring old football with the Simpsons superimposed on top of it.

A similar thing happened during the last Super Bowl with SpongeBob, https://www.avclub.com/spongebob-squarepants-super-bowl-broadcast-nickelodeon-1851248912

I imagine this is a test run (also similar to SpongeBob) and we'll get a similar alternative broadcast during the Super Bowl.
