Man charged after defending wife from rapist.

Quote:US case law states that jurors cannot be prosecuted for statements made during deliberations including those related to nullification. It can be cause for removal, but that is why they do pre-trial selection. Perjury for lying about nullification is about lying, not nullification, just like any other topic.Aside from the deliberations part, nothing you said contradicts any of my claims; being on a jury while knowing what jury nullification is likely means you committed perjury. Try to tell jurors about nullification while not yourself a juror will likely result in a rather stern talking to from the judge and quite possibly being held in contempt when and if you continue as well as a mistrial being declared. If a judge finds out you intend to nullify you'll be removed from the jury and a mistrial will likely follow. Jury nullification is nice for people who think they can decide how and why the law should be applied but there is a reason we have a judicial system. |
