I wish it were possible to get the message out to more people, as this could be one of the few ways to take back power from the government. If jurors refused to convict for violations of bad law, or for excessive punishment, then the laws would become ineffective, in spite of the bad intent of those who write them (think Reid, Pelosi, Schumer, Feinstein, Boxer, Dodd, Frank, Liebermann, McCain, etc.)<br /><br />Yes, I imagine there would eventually be some backlash from government, restricting jury trials or allowing only jurors who swore not to nullify onto juries. In Montana recently (five or six months ago?) jurors refused to even be seated on a case involving imprisoning someone for using marijuana. They made it plain there was no way in hell they would convict, so the prosecution dropped the case.<br /><br />If enough potential jurors made it plain they were aware of their right _ and duty - to nullify when appropriate, the jury pool would shrink to where prosecutors might think twice before pressing a case.Reg Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14099612693763932005noreply@blogger.com
