@meena That's too often true, but I still believe that #jurynullification can be used for great justice, and when I AM permitted to serve on juries where it's obvious that the accused is being persecuted for shit I could get away with doing because I'm white, I try to convince the jury to acquit because it's the right thing to do.
I tend not to survive voir dire very often, though.
bad take, violence Show more
But since the law doesn't, it's up to fair-minded citizens serving on juries to refuse to convict in cases where the relationship between the accused and their alleged victim is so unequal that the accused may have resorted to violence to survive.
