Goes in single, comes out married. Could be punishment enough.

Jury nullification is for the guy being railroaded over “wetland” on his property.

Not loosing a cold-blooded killer.

“...really one of the only safeguards against tyranny that we have.”

Yes one hallmark of tyranny is the prosecution of someone who openly murders someone by walking up behind him and shooting him in the back. /s

One juror can cause a mistrial. Magione walks free only if they all vote not guilty. But in NYC, who knows?

Americans need to set up a GoFundMe page to hire a hitman to take the little cowardly backshooter out. Luigi needs to be dusted with both barrels like another famous cowardly backshooter, Robert Newton Ford.

"Jurors should acquit even against the judge's instruction....if exercising their judgment with discretion and honesty they have a clear conviction that the charge of the court is wrong." -- Alexander Hamilton, 1804

Our problem is that conservatives aren't using jury service to nullify laws being misused against us.

Jury nullification has been upheld by the Supreme Court in at least three different decisions. As long as we have a jury system, jury nullification needs to exist as a corrective to corrupt prosecutors, judges, and legislatures.

But Singapore's Lee Kwan Yew famously stated that the jury system in practice is worthless in a multicultural society, as jurors will always vote to excuse fellow members of their race or religion. Since we have let half the world move to the USA with no expectations of adopting cultural conformity, our jury system is becoming less and less useful by the year.

Only if the jury pool is limited to Antifa/BLM/NEA.

[wafflehouse]

a legal power by which a defiant jury can find a defendant not guilty if they believe the law the accused is charged with breaking is unjust

it is pretty self-evident that this doesnt apply here unless you want to legalize murder in general

This is a real danger. I wonder how many NYC Trump jurors voted for guilt because they feared for their lives....

[abigkahuna]

As I understand it in California it is illegal to even discuss this topic much less distribute flyers talking about jury nullification. That decision was upheld by the state supreme court. I wonder about New York laws on this topic

[Bullish]

NYC should just be walled off from the rest of the country at this piint.

[Salman]

We need to be more like Pinochet.

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

Jury notification is not a quirk. It is a pillar of English common law and western civilization. In my state, the judge will read instructions to the jury explaining to them that they have the right to judge the facts and the law. If people understood the power they had on a jury bad laws would have no effect whatsoever.

Anyone who fights to free this guy is just effed in the head.
