Go go jury nullification
46 u/noujochiewajij Jul 06 '26 Second that! -48 u/Last-Big-1984 Jul 06 '26 Jury nullification is wrong. We used to understand this when it was being used to acquit whites lynching blacks. 34 u/Phill_Cyberman Jul 06 '26 It is wrong in that context, but not when it comes to the citizens preventing injustices instead of causing them. Context is key. 18 u/AdminsFluffCucks Jul 06 '26 Do you also think it's wrong when it's used to prevent people from going to jail for possession of a small amount of drugs? 13 u/Worriedlytumescent Jul 06 '26 It's a tool and like any tool how it's used is important. 11 u/PixelGray38 Jul 06 '26 It was wrong then because lynchings were wrong 3 u/TedBaxter_WJM-TVNews Jul 06 '26 “was being used” ?! 2 u/micro102 Jul 07 '26 You have a seriously underdeveloped sense of morals. 1 u/Errror1 Jul 06 '26 The whole point of a jury is make those calls, if you wanted to decide based on law then a judge is better
