This is an interesting topic and would be most helpful when we get to the trial of Hank Rearden in the chapter titled "The Sanction of the Victim."

You fellows might want to do some research on the Fully Informed Jury Association and their treatment by judges and prosecutors.

And that principle (jury nullification) was at work in Howard Roark’s trial in The Fountainhead.

How about that book for our next cook club selection.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I have been aware of FIJA for many years now but will refresh my acquaintance as you have suggested.
