No pro, once again your confusion of your dillusion and the facts are showing.

Hanging a jury does not Nullify the prosecution and potential punishment of the accused. Nullification is preventing the defendant from being punished even if they are in full violation of the letter of the law. It can be used to undermine the enforcement of unjust laws, or to act as a moral check for extenuating circumstance.


Hanging a JURY does not do this. The accussed may still be retried.. they are not protected from prosecution or potential punishment. Only a full verdict of NOT GUILTY protects a defendant from futher prosecution and possible punishment for the enfraction. One Juror cannot perform Jury Nullification.

Your absolute ignorace of the most fundamental concepts of our legal system is boundless. An idividual JUROR always has the right to vote his conscience, but 1 single jury does not nullify prosecution or punishment. To prevent the enforcement of an unjust law or to prevent punishment of a person who is by the letter of the law guilty, a jury must come back with a finding of NOT GUILTY. Any other conclusion does not accomplish protection of the accused... a hung jury = a mistrial and the accused is retried. Only a full finding of NOT GUILTY removes the ability of the accused from facing futher prosection and punishment for their enfraction.

You propose that a hung jury is jury nullification, I suggest to you, show me what precident you cite for such claims. All you have offered is opinion, opinion not backed by law or precident.

I suggest the same for you.

All you have offered is opinion,

Precisely what I have said about your contentions. You continue to make claims, but nothing to back them up. You continue to call them facts, no dice. Please cite authoritative sources to agree with your alleged definition. Until then, it is opinion, nothing more.
