• Jury Nullification

Jury nullification is when the jury in a criminal trial gives a verdict of not guilty even though they think a defendant has broken the law. The jury’s reasons may include the belief that the law itself is unjust, that the prosecutor has misapplied the law in the defendant’s case, that the punishment for breaking the law is too harsh, or general frustrations with the criminal justice system. Some juries have also refused to convict due to their own prejudices in favor of the defendant. Such verdicts are possible because a jury has an absolute right to return any verdict it chooses. Nullification is not an official part of criminal procedure, but is the logical consequence of two rules governing the systems in which it exists:

1. Jurors cannot be punished for passing an incorrect verdict.

2. In many jurisdictions, a defendant who is acquitted cannot be tried a second time for the same offense.

I’m ignorant of the colors. I think one is bi pride (and obviously the brithsh flag) but what are the other two?

Yeah, it looks like Jordan was baiting them and got the reaction they wanted.

It was inevitable with the way things have been going the past few years.

Couldn’t have even changed the obnoxious thread title from when you stole this from reddit?

I just crossposted it from Lemmy and didn’t bother changing the title. I’m not the one who took it from Reddit so calm down.

Okay, I just looked and it was @alessandro@lemmy.ca who originally posted it to Lemmy so they’re probably the one who “stole” the title from Reddit. Be mad at them.

It’s probably asked sarcastically because they know it would never happen.

Eat sod, Mossad.

It’s real. It’s in Japan. Tokyo, I think.
