We will see much more Jury Nullification as blacks increasingly become militant racists and as more and more muslims are selected for jury duty.

The fact that every part of this sentence is true made me dizzy.

You know things are bad when you drink to sober up.

Regardless, jury nullification is the biggest hammer in the tool shed. Judge the facts, and judge the law. Both are required of an educated juror. Imagine how many useless regulations would be anulled if juries were aware of their power?

This article appeared in a local leftie throwaway paper, and I was immediately intrigued as to why. The paper wasn't on the Internet so I searched for a web source and researched James at the same time.

Here it is, and I conclude this is to get the word out to blacks and Muslims.

There are a couple of key things that effectively killed jury nullification in America.

The first was an 1895 supreme court ruling that jurors “Need not be informed” of their rights, and second was the civil rights era when a few white juries refused to convict obviously guilty men. In the second case, they were morally wrong but legally correct. Unfortunately that led to a federal power grab so they could move cases to prosecution friendly venues.

I hate to say it but probably 80% of the public believes that they must convict based on evidence and the judge’s instruction.
