Jury nullification

I don't understand the reference. Please explain more.

Jury Nullification is the process whereby a jury...or even a single member...believes a person to have broken the law, but the law is unjust and finds them not guilty. Or when it happens often enough a prosecutor stops trying to enforce an unjust law.

The photo is from the movie "A Time to Kill" where a father kills a rapist, and the jury finds him not guilty though he clearly did it.

There was no jury in the ruling made by the SCOTUS, if this is your reference point.

True. And SCOTUS will not be in the courtrooms where individuals are on trial. The jurors in THOSE courtrooms can absolutely set people free from injustice.

Juries can indeed find a person not-guilty. However, only judges can do a jury nullification.

I'm not talking about nullifying a jury...I'm talking about jury nullification. Which is a term for jurors finding folks not guilty when they clearly broke the law. There are whole websites devoted to it.

Obviously a judge can do just about any damn thing they want concerning empaneling or dismissing a jury. Different thing entirely from what I'm talking about.
