I don't know where all this talk about jury nullification comes from in respect to this case. DW has been charged with three things - Murder, Kidnapping and Child Porn. He may be guilty of none or all three, but the laws applicable to the charges are generally accepted as good laws. (CP is debatable based on the Supreme Court rulings). Why would a jury decide that DW is guilty of the charges of murder and kidnapping, but come to the decision that the laws against murder or kidnapping are wrong and vote to let him go? That's what jury nullification is.

These threads have been a learning experience for all aspects of the judicial system. Some topics do not necessarily pertain to Westerfield.

You know the old saying "you had to be there"? Well, that pertains to the THOUSANDS of comments that have been shared in these COUNTLESS threads over the last approximately six months. Getting in this late is the same as getting in on the tailend of a conversation.

I don't it does directly. Thie discussion of the requirement for the jury to follow the judge's instructions got me off-topic. Sorry about that!
