Yes, jury nullification gives the people (the jury) the ultimate control in a court case. Which is where it belongs. I encourage FReepers to serve on juries and help take back this country; and be familiar with jury nullification should the need arise.

You are crazy. The jury is part of the justice system not the ultimate arbiter. The system is designed so that no one component is the ultimate arbiter. That is what makes it great. Being on a jury is NOT an opportunity to seize power to force one's opinions; it is QUITE the opposite. But you would have to have some humility and some intelligence to understand that.

A little over the top there, wouldn’t you say? Geez.

I happen to view jury nullification to be a great check on the power of Congress. Unjust laws don’t have to be upheld. Sorry if my viewpoint makes you go ballistic.
