Anywhomst, if any of you happen to get called into jury duty in the coming months (assuming we don't move to full on military tribunals lol) act like you have no horse in the race re: the protests during the selection interviews so you can potentially prevent a guilty verdict
It's worth pretending to kiss cop feet for a couple hours if you can actually stop someone from getting pushed thru their system
Let’s add a bit to this. Jury nullification is this awesome thing that happens when a jury turns out a “not guilty” verdict even though they agree that the defendant did the behavior that they’re being accused of, because they think THE LAW IS WRONG. This is a legitimate form of protest against unjust laws and enforcement of those laws.
If you are selected for jury duty service, they will likely say something like, “It is your duty to apply the law as it is given to you, regardless of whether you agree.” THIS IS A LIE. You have the right to nullify a charge because you believe the law is incorrect, immoral, or for whatever other reason wrongly applied to the defendant of the charges.
That being said, do not tell the judge or the attorneys that your intent going in is to nullify the law. You will not be selected.
Know your rights. Exercise them.
