Jury Nullification – the vote that counts!

Jury Nullification:
A jury’s knowing and deliberate rejection of the evidence, or refusal to apply applicable statute (man-made law) because the result dictated by such statute would be contrary to the jury’s sense of justice, morality, or fairness.

If you think a statute is unjust, why help criminals in government to enforce it? If it’s not enforced in court, the unjust statute has, in effect, been nullified by the People.

John Jay, the first ever Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, “The jury has the right to judge both the law as well as the fact in controversy.”

Thomas Jefferson in a letter to Thomas Paine (1789), “I consider trial by jury as the only anchor ever yet imagined by man by which a government can be held to the principles of its Constitution.”

Supreme Court Justice Byron White (Duncan v. Louisiana, 1968), “A right to jury trial is granted to defendants in order to prevent oppression by the government.”

Supreme Court Justice Byron White (Taylor v. Louisiana 1975), “The purpose of a jury is to guard against the exercise of arbitrary power. To make available the common sense judgement of the community as a hedge against the overzealous or mistaken prosecutor and in preference to professional or perhaps over-conditioned or biased response of a judge.”

Of course, this is a VERY serious matter that needs much thoughtful consideration before taking action. Such acts can easily cause big problems if misapplied.

For instance, people who have committed actual acts of physical violence which were not taken in self-defense are a real threat to the public at large (i.e., you and your friends and family). So are people who drive drunk or while high on drugs.

The same goes for people who steal or vandalize, and as a result cause prices to rise and/or cause people to lose their jobs because of store closures (FYI, customers actually pay the cost of insurance. It gets added into the price of goods and services – like all other costs do). Etc.

You get the idea. As always, it’s in everyone’s best interest for everyone to consider the extended effects of their actions.
