Разгромное интервью бывшего судьи о том, как выносят приговоры ПАШИН | КОПАНЦЕВ

Retired federal judge Sergei Pashin discusses whether justice exists in Russian courts today. In the "That Same KOPANTSEV" project, we discuss: • why the judicial system delivers 99% of guilty verdicts, • why an acquittal is a risk to a judge's career, • what's happening with jury trials and why people fear them, • why lawyers are unwilling to accept judges, • is there any real accountability for judges, • and whether an independent legal system is possible in Russia. This isn't just a conversation about the courts. This is a conversation about fear, loyalty, conscience, and where state will ends and law begins. ⸻ ❗️Remember that every like and comment promotes this video. So, like and comment.
