    Lenient? I'd hang the jury if I couldn't talk them into jury nulification.

    I know a lot of states say jury nullification is illegal but what are they going to do if a jury of your peers unanimously finds you not guilty? I also found out mentioning jury nullification to the screening clerk when you get stuck with jury duty usually gets you a raised eyebrow and not chosen and sent home

    And exactly who was harmed here anyway? This was more of a "what would you do" thread, than a situation where specific facts are key.

    Oh relax.


    Edit:

    You know, the last thing on my mind when I posted that was that you looked foolish. It never crossed my mind. You've "known" me long enough that you should know me better than that.
