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.
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.
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.
Ahh, but the point still stands. This economic system is demonstrably not as bad as pretty much every other one that has been pushed to this scale.
When pushed to actual results...our poor are Fat, and not Skinny. And that is an anomaly in human history. It says a LOT if folks would only consider it.
