IANAL, but in such an absurd knife case, on the jury, why not just vote to acquit, for innocent?
As I understand the situation, a juror can vote whatever based on whatever, for any reason or no reason, and never give their reason.
So, for a nonsense knife case as in the OP, really just a way for a lot of lawyer politicians to posture before the public and a lot of other lawyers to throw innocent citizens in jail just for the jollies, why not just vote innocent?
- Simon_says 9y agoA lot of people don't know about this or jury nullification. In particular, one juror from TFA says they felt compelled to vote guilty.
