I'm sure you know your option or not but neither the judge nor the lawyers will tell you often because they're not allowed to and also because it might be better if you don't know I will tell you that third choice but be warned watching May prevent you from ever serving on a jury so this is your last chance to hit the pause button before you learn about jury nullification when the defendant is 100% Beyond A Reasonable Doubt but the teachers also think he shouldn't be punished by the law and let him go free but before you run and y'all know ya at the judge you should know that the talking about during notification in the wrong person get you arrested though a video such as this one and in no way advocating totally okay and while we're at it would be great if I'm a lawyer that's not legal advice is Metro purposes only logical consequence you can't be punished for a wrong decision no matter what the witnesses DNA evidence or video proof show that's the point of maturity to be the final decider and second what I found not guilty that's offended can't be tried again for the same crime so there are only Tuesday today guilty or not when the words of the don't matter thought for which they can't be put it and they're not guilty decision can't be pain but the logical consequences argue about jury nullification like to argue about quantum mechanics and the interpretation of both have a huge philosophical ramification for the subject as a whole or an anarchy of 12 call Citizens judge their laws in favor of The Glitch Mob not Humanity at its best both of these are juries nullifying the law and also have two options for where their thoughts May differ from their words refers to the non-guilty version but you can convicted without evidence easily if they can I quit in spite of it is there a notification to end of the jurors are protected by the first rule though the second doesn't apply and judges do have the power to overrule a guilty verdict if they think the jurors are in the bat and of course they open for a little while which makes big deal T form of jury application weaker than the Nocatee kind of ignore the law when picking jurors were trial lawyers ask about notification usually in the slightly roundabout way you have any belief that might prevent you from making a decision basically on the law about jury nullification you think it's a good idea answer yes and you'll be rejected but technically a federal crime optimal strategy once on a jury to submit to the problem forgers who intend to nullify telling the other 11 angry men about her position is risky which makes notification as a tool for fixing under wide problematic not to mention about 5% of criminal charges in the United States ever make it to trial and rather end in the plea bargain but that's a story for another time the only question about jury nullification that made matter in the end is if you should be told about it and the courts are near Universal and there's no way what do depend on the law but there's evidence that telling jurors about notification changes the way they vote by making evidence less relevant to them which isn't surprising that's what allocation is but also shows more not guilty verdicts in explicitly pulled about notification sounds bad but it's easy to imagine situations where is blindly following the law would be terribly on Judge righteous will of the people or Anarchy or love making the system leave you to decide but as long as courts are fair they require these rules so jury nullification will always be with us
