Comment on How would legal procedure change if every citizen eligible for jury duty was aware of jury nullification?

Probably would make prosecutors think twice about bringing certain cases to trial. Any “sympathetic” defendants would likely just get a plea deal, and probably a lax one.

Influencers/Famous people could also do what they like, because prosecuting means risking that a jury could just side with them, regardless of the seriousness of the crime.
