      That’s why making sure potential jurors are educated on jury nullification, how it works, and how to not be prematurely dismissed as a juror is so important.

          Basically it means that you can return whatever verdict you want as long as you don’t say something stupid like “I don’t actually believe this by the way.”

      Find one person, and I mean one that isn’t skewed by knowing the context of the case. Jury nullification is the correct course when it’s very, very clear that the prosecution is acting in bad faith. I have no idea the facts, I do know the prosecution is lying about the narrative because we’re not stupid.
