It’s called “jury nullification.”
This is why Dems want unanimous juries. All they need is one “don’t put another black man in jail” juror and evidence doesn’t matter. Like the former Black Panther on O.J.’s jury who gave him the ‘black power’ salute after acquital, all about sticking it to whitey.
Lionel Cryer is the juror who gave OJ Simpson a black power fist as he left the courtroom after the verdict
He revealed two years ago that he still believes Simpson is innocent
Cryer, a former Black Panther, also winked and smiled at Simpson before the verdict was revealed in court
Don’t you want unanimous juries too? Certainly in criminal capital matters, no?
Civil stuff, okay, preponderance may work, that’s only money/property, but criminal is a big step up.
