Both fine suggestions, and I offer a third, jury nullification. Teach the prosecutors that they will lose these cases.
Quietly get on a jury, say all the things you know to say about following the law the judges instructions, etc. Then in the chambers wield the unassailable power a juror has. Your decision is beyond review.
Remember not to just be a stonewall digging your heels in. They will remove you for that.
Deliberate, argue, debate, etc. Pretend its a thread with 1500 posts. Enjoy yourself, act open minded, but know your decision is in stone. As a side benefit, maybe a liberal will pop a critical vessel.
Jury Nullification is one of the greatest things our founders ever envisioned. Its why I have these quotes on my profile page.
THOMAS JEFFERSON (1789): I consider trial by jury as the only anchor ever yet imagined by man, by which a government can be held to the principles of its constitution.
JOHN ADAMS (1771): It’s not only ....(the juror’s) right, but his duty, in that case, to find the verdict according to his own best understanding, judgement, and conscience, though in direct opposition to the direction of the court.
ALEXANDER HAMILTON (1804): Jurors should acquit even against the judge’s instruction....”if exercising their judgement with discretion and honesty they have a clear conviction that the charge of the court is wrong.”
U.S. vs. DOUGHERTY (1972) [D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals]: The jury has....”unreviewable and irreversible power...to acquit in disregard of the instructions on the law given by the trial judge.”
