Jury Nullification: A Citizen’s Only Weapon
You are the law.
~ Paul Newman, The Verdict
Most of us assume the function of a jury is to determine a defendant’s guilt or innocence. But did you know a juror is also responsible for judging the law itself? That’s right. The power to change a bad law is in the hands of one person. Any person. You, if you happen to be sitting on a jury. An individual juror has the power to say, This is a bad law; not guilty.
Just like that. Hung jury. Trial over.
