wrenchmonkey has never heard of the term Civil Disobedience and never heard of the term Jury Nullification.



here hold on, I'll search the Internet for you.


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_disobedience


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jury_nullification


now I'll quote the jury nullification for you since you probably won't click that.


in a criminal trial, a jury nullifies by acquitting a defendant, even though the members of the jury may believe that the defendant did the illegal act, yet they don't believe he or she should be punished for it. This may occur when members of the jury disagree with the law the defendant has been charged with breaking, or believe that the law should not be applied in that particular case.

so you see, there are ways to just say fuck you to the system when you think it's unfair and JN is a great way to do it.


but guess what, jurors are RARELY informed about this.
