Perfect scenario for “jury nullification.” In effect saying, “Judge, we don’t think you’re dealing straight with us on the how this law should work, so we the people, in this case, nullify your view of the law and assert our own. Not guilty. You don’t like the result, take it up with a higher court.” Better yet, if enough cases defy the statute as presented by the court, the statute is effectively overturned. True. Powerful stuff, not used nearly enough.
