[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.

      Nope.

      You should be applying this to all juries you serve on. Accept those summonses. Get on those juries and use your brains.

        The President has unlimited pardon powers, and so do juries.

          President is one person. Juries are 12 people (at minimum, for criminal trials). Verdicts have to be unanimous. If theres 11 not guolty and 1 guilty, the prosecution can repeat the trials indefinitely (until a judge dismisses it with prejudice)
