Nicole Simpson's family have been "liberated" by the use of jury nullification

Any power can be used for good or ill. It is just that our philosophy, part of our Judeo-Christian heritage, is that it it better that 100 guilty people go free than that 1 innocent person shall be punished. I agree with that philosophy, do you? I am outraged that any innocent person goes to jail and find that the criminal justice system is horribly corrupt. As evidence, I offer the 12 death row inmates freed with absolute proof of their innocence by a bunch of law students on a class project.

We need an intelligent bunch of jurors, and an end to the system of picking jurors that selects the intelligent ones out.

Does anyone know of a registered Libertarian that has gotten on a criminal jury in the last 10 years?

Thank you Oprah for your input.

What about the families George Ryan spit in the face from getting justice, because of his quest for protection from the liberal press and a Nobel prize.

Thank you for showing with your italicized statement that, in general, pro-potters on FR are people who feel that they have been wronged by the system and are basically willing to let out 100 violent criminals for every one wrongly judged by that system.

JMO, but send your resume to Hillary, you would be a perfect drone for her office staff.
