[Jury Nullification] is when the jury in a criminal trial gives a verdict of not guilty even though they think a defendant has broken the law. The jury’s reasons may include the belief that the law itself is unjust

Until the wealthy and powerful are held to account, why punish your fellow everyday citizens? Use your brain. Decide if what they’re charging people with is suppression or actually keeping society safe.

When those prosecutors start losing these cases, maybe they will start to rethink who they are focusing on.

    The number of people ITT that want to find some reason they can’t have an impact by quoting obscure legal theorizing is pretty wild to me.

      Not sure if you’re including me in that group given that I never said that.

      My assumption is that your goal is to make people aware of our jury system as it relates to the current political climate. If so, we have the same goal 👍.
