I’m not a big fan of the ‘lie to the FBI, go to jail law.’... I’m actually more a fan of the ‘get rid of the FBI completely’ law. That being said, this was never going to happen in DC. Jury nullification is widely accepted as a legitimate political tactic in the black community.
I wouldn’t argue with any of that.
I will say though, that if the law states you can’t lie to
the FBI, it should be upheld in court.
Can’t a judge nullify a jury decision if it is clearly
in conflict with the evidence presented?
I thought that I have seen that in the past, but perhaps
not.
