For jurors, regardless of their personal feelings about smoking, this was an open and shut case.

The jurors could have, I suppose, told the judge that they found him not guilty because of a bad ordinance.
But then the LEO might have seen them smoking too. Or they might have seen the LEO smoking.;^)

That's jury nullification, and its a b-a-a-a-a-d word for many Freepers.
