If someone is on a jury that is unaware of jury nullification they do not deserve to be on said jury, or the USA for that matter. I still cant freakin believe pot laws havnt been jury nullified. Shows you how ignorant and stupid the American public is.

Jury Nullification is the LAWFUL way to take back your country. STOP TALKING ABOUT IT, AND DO IT !!!
All you have to do, is say I do not agree with this law, and start acquitting people for victimless crimes. That is the very reason the Countries are in so much debt. If a working society has a NON working head, the burden will be on the body. The head gets too big, the body can't hold it up. There is only 3 lawful laws to abide by. Do not harm anyone, cause property damage, or commit fraud.

The courts HATE jury nullification, because it means that just one person from the jury can decide that he doesn't like a law. They want to control the law and tell you what rules you should live by. I say TOUGH SHIT. Lets inform everyone about jury nullification to the point where the state becomes powerless to enforce anything, then we can create real, workable, polycentric law.

This is bullshit. Juries have every right to nullify laws, and they should be notified of their rights. This is the only way to ensure justice in the face of unjust laws.

Jury Nullification is just about the only power that Americans have, because when we vote, we just elect corrupt politicians who do what special interests want. We don't make the laws. Corrupt politicians make the laws. So Jury nullification is a great thing. When I stated in voir dire that I would not apply any law I disagreed with, for the first time I felt like I had some governmental power. That felt good. I loved sticking it to the judge and the lawyers.

@thefakeyeti Well, that is in part how alcohol prohibition was ended. Juries started acquiting bootleggers left and right so the Amendment was nullified!

And of course, it's a bald faced lie, because no juror can ever be punished for disregarding judicial instructions. If the jury votes to acquit, neither the judge nor an appellate court can reverse it, nor can the defendant be retried, and no reprisal can be made against the jury. A jury's right to nullify is absolute, and all statements to the contrary are unenforceable.

@thefakeyeti Excellent, I hope for this also. I've served 3 times, can't wait for a 4th NG verdict! FIJA :)
Jury nullification is the whole point of trial by jury.!

This is nuts! How can he be charged with informing the jury of their rights? Was there a gag on lawyers as well from informing the jury? This needs to prompt a lawsuit at least, it sounds like the opposite of Miranda to disallow a group to know their rights.
