Gun advocates should immediately blanket the state with information about jury nullification.

Importantly, Connecticut has a weird grand jury law, in which they use an “investigatory grand jury”, which is a judge, judge referee, or three-judge panel. So he is almost guaranteed to be indicted.

This means that there cannot be a “nullifying grand jury”, and he can only be exonerated by a nullifying trial court jury.

So again, Connecticut needs to be blanketed with references to jury nullification, so that this travesty of the law is smothered in its crib.

80% of people on jury duty are useless non-essential types looking to get a few days off with pay.

Not really the type to have the intelligence to engage in Jury Nullification, especially if the defendant isnt the right skin color.
