    Jury nullification is one way to overturn unfair laws.

    If a bunch of juries refuse to play ball, prosecutors will stop trying the cases. They think convictions are the only way to win reelection.

    I’m an advocate for homeless people. I 100% support jury nullification.

      I mean, we’d probably want to keep murder illegal. It’s just this specific murder we don’t take issue with.
