Sadly, I think that's true - and any DC jury is simply, on the basis of its members, immediately busy practicing jury nullification. That is, they've already decided on what they're going to "decide."

Absolutely true. Anyone who thinks otherwise may just have to look up recent history and the jury that acquitted Hinckley of shooting Reagan on the basis of "insanity". OJ McKinney beat the rap for one reason and one reason only. Justice is a foreign concept in the DC court system. Race trumps everything there.
