[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.

    I have the right to do a lot of things which would never come up.

    I can and should review jury procedures when and if they call on me, but generally I do side with the laws. Like, as a general rule, murderers should go to prison, for example.

      The law also sent Rosa Parks to jail.

        Rosa Parks didn’t shoot the bus driver three times in the back with an unregistered firearm.
