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 👍.

IANAL, but it sounds like a “JNOV” could allow the judge to basically throw out a jury decision, regardless of what it is. It’s just that they almost never use it because, as long as the jury hasn’t been compromised or manipulated in some way, they respect the jury system.

IMO almost everyone (who knows about lemmy) knows about jury nullification. But the real risk people should know about is this JNOV ruling. I could envision a Trump appointed judge trying to use it nefariously in the near future.
