As per .world worldnews mod, no discussing naughty stuff like jury nullification.
While this post is blowing up, here’s the book referenced by the shooter:

Jury nullification is not illegal in the United States, the jurisdiction this would be tried in.
I’ve been searching around, not very in depth mind you, and I haven’t been able to find an instance of it being outright illegal in any western country. It ranges from being an accepted function of the jury, to being something that exists theoretically within the jury system but not being explicitly discussed, neither encouraged nor discouraged, in the the legal framework, to being not applicable at all because they don’t use juries at all.
Removing the US component to this situation and knowing that LW is hosted in the EU, I can’t find a single country that would impact the ability of people to discuss jury nullification on LW.
Again this is based on some cursory searches, so if I’m wrong and jury nullification is illegal in some EU country, please let me know.
Yeah…
I kind of want to know who the fuck said that, and how that person can be so uninformed that they think anyone ever mentioning a part of our legal system is always illegal…
Like, the only explanation is they read something years ago, never understood it, and are too over confident to spent 2 seconds to check.
That’s not behavior you want in a mod and especially not an admin.
If one of the admins actually said that shit…
It probably really is time for a new instance.
