My favorite jury nullification story is of a murder case in Appalachia. Dude and his wife were walking out of a gas station. Other guy makes sexual and offensive statement about dude’s wife. Fight ensues. Dude ends up killing the guy who made the offensive comment. Jury acquitted him “it don’t seem like you’d be any kinda man if you let somethin like that pass.” We have jury trials for a reason. Sometimes the law as written needs to be interpreted by the people it serves.
