Jury nullification is a powerful tool for reining in prosecutorial overreach, and for correcting perceived injustice in corner-cases (pun intended).
This is about the only topic on which I agree with Justice Sotomayor.
- AcerbicZero 10y agoI generally disagree with her as well, but her recent dissent on Utah v. Strieff was pretty good. Almost sounded like Scalia rose from the dead to write a few paragraphs.
- pc2g4d 10y agoJust read that, and I think Sotomayor nailed it. I also thought it was too bad that Scalia wasn't part of the case---perhaps he could have turned the tide.
