    This is pure bullshit. And that’s not just my opinion, Cornell Law School explains jury nullification on their website, and lists multiple examples of it. Juries in the United States are protected, and you cannot be held responsible for refusing to convict. You will not be punished for it, and if you are, then your rights have been violated and you have a case to sue the government.

      I did not say you would get punished for exercising JN during deliberations. We’re talking about getting OUT of jury duty, which means during the voir dire process.

          No we are not.

          You can’t even remember what this thread is about? Really. Tragically, all you had to do was scroll to the top and re-read the top of the branch to refresh your memory. Wow. Guess we know you’re not a lawyer.

            This is the start of this:

            "It’s a TOS violation to discuss one of the very real and legitimate responsibilities you have as a juror?

            Like, nullification is a thing because it’s very much the absolute very very last defense against bullshit laws being used against people by a corrupt judicial system.

            It’s a moral imperative and something anyone sitting on a jury should understand and be willing to use.

            What an absurd take, especially since it sounds like it’s all the .world admins having it."

            This is about jury nulification, and one comment on how it will get you kicked off a jury does not make the whole thing about dodging jury duty.

              Demonstrating your mastery of the English language again. Didn’t say this was about ‘the whole thing’. “This. Thread.”
