If I were a US Attorney trying to bring pot cases in California, Colorado, or Washington I'd be very worried about jury nullification. Maybe I'd be able to solve the problem in voir dire but I wouldn't bet on it.
- ocdtrekkie 9y agoMost people don't know what jury nullification is, and the courts specifically do not instruct juries on it. Hence, it is not a big concern really.
