EscapeFromHell 06/13/19 12:40:07 PM #46:	CTRL F "nullification" no results. I'm amazed at how few people know about jury nullification - basically, as a juror, it is your job to decide what is and isn't justice, not the lawyers, not the evidence and not the judge. So, if you don't feel a crime has been committed, you can vote not guilty. If you don't think the person did it, despite a mountain of "evidence," vote not guilty. The list goes on and on... The thing is, lawyers and judges don't like jurors who know about jury nullification, so if you do, and you bring it up when the judge asks "Do you know any reason why you shouldn't be a juror," (or whatever) they will probably excuse you and send you home. Now, of course, you should read up on jury nullification (or watch a quick video on YouTube, just don't disrupt the court/jury room or you could be tried for contempt) so you can get a better understanding of what it actually means. I did this back in March and was out the door before lunch. Good luck, TC. --- I believed my friends, years ago, when they told me "penis inspection day" was a real thing.

Knowing about jury nullification isnt a reason I shouldnt serve as a juror. I might be bitching and complaining about it but I dont want out if it isnt a legitimate reason why.
