Statist strawman!
Roeder saved lives, Simpson took lives out of personal pride.
Jury nullification is valid.

Tim McVeigh had a necessity defense too, the “feds needed to learn a lesson.” And when the Montana Freeman standoff ended without a Waco fire, McVeigh felt vindicated in his bombing - wow, sounds a lot like the freepers saying the shooting saved a lot of babies!
Except it didn’t stop the late term ones - Dr. Carhart is doing them now. Anyone here calling for killing HIM?
First degree murder will never sit well with me.
Not if you actually believe the Constitution.
I've read and read, but can't seem to find any provision in the Constitution for jury nullification. It certainly could have been included, had the Fathers so desired.
The Constitutional provision for changing the law is via the legislature. Period.
Jury nullification is an end-run around the Constitution which is absolutely no different than judicial activism. It's just that the perpetrators sit in a different place in the courtroom when they commit the act.
If you are in favor of jury nullification, but against judicial activism, then you, FRiend, are a hypocrite.
Interesting. So, you'd fully support the decision of any Muslims who may be sitting on the jury for KSM to vote against conviction because they're sympathetic to KSM's position? That is a most curious statement - jury nullification is valid - if also intellectually obtuse..
