Jury nullification is not a crime, Denver
- zer00eyz 11y agoI think that jury nullification is one of the "hacks" that makes the USA amazing. It is not only the juror's right, but his duty, to find the verdict according to his own best understanding, judgment and conscience, though in direct opposition to the directions of the court.-- John Adams Hell our founding fathers thought this was a good thing. Its the people expressing their will inspire of the behavior of the republic. The first amendment pretty much trumps everything, and it is a justices obligation to uphold that, inspite of the diminishment of their power that results.
- thaumasiotes 11y agoJudges and prosecutors try hard to avoid having jurors who know what nullification is. I wonder how that could be done in this case. ;D
