“I’ve said from the beginning: I’d return for a jury trial tomorrow, but only if the government allowed whistleblowers to present a public interest defense. The government refuses because they don’t trust juries to question their actions. They claim it puts the government on trial—and they’re right. It should.”
In this video, we dive into the issue of whistleblowers’ rights, specifically the government’s refusal to allow a public interest defense in trial. This means that whistleblowers cannot explain why their actions were for the greater good or to expose corruption. The government’s stance undermines accountability and transparency. Shouldn’t the actions of the government be put on trial when they’re questioned by whistleblowers?
