As far as I know, Edward Snowden has not been tried and convicted in any US jurisdiction that I am aware of. I typically do not like being pedantic, but I can say if I was on that jury I would be hard-pressed not to push for jury nullification (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jury_nullification http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jury_nullification).
- tedunangst 13y agoIf you want to be pedantic, per your link jury nullification occurs in cases where the jury agrees the defendant is guilty but deserves to be acquitted nevertheless. Or in other words, did break the law.
