FVPOA posted:Yet anyone arrested under this act would be entitled to a jury trial, would they not. Despite any instructions to the contrary, wouldn't most juries go with the stupid defense. After all, in Hillary's case, it's pretty much a known fact.
Not, if the prosecutor properly explained the charge to a jury. Huma and Hillary can't claim stupid -- neither arrived at the point in their careers by being stupid. Nor, could they claim ignorance of the law. Before their security clearances were issued, both would receive training and sign forms stated they did.
Certainly, former Petty Officer First Class Kristian Saucier, who used a cellphone camera to take photos in the classified engine room of the nuclear submarine, could claim such at his court martial.
