Comment on Why is Jury Nullification a Thing, But You Can’t Talk About It in Court?
null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day agoYou haven’t actually rebutted anything I’ve said.
Jurors have no responsibilities to the justice system
That’s just semantics. Jurors participate for a reason.
A system where jurors just nullify cases when they don’t dig the vibe is obviously not a justice system.
The only reason the western world is falling all over themselves to believe in jury nullification is because our justice system is completely unjust and wealthy people can just string things out indefinitely.

Enlighten me. What do you think that reason is?
From where I’m sitting, you have dismissed the entire purpose of a layperson jury as “semantics”, so I would really like to know what “reason” you are talking about.

The role of the jury in criminal trials is to review questions of fact and to determine guilt or innocence according to the law.
