I remember once my teacher was talking about a time he was in a jury for a burglary trial. A man allegedly robbed a jewellery story of 30K worth of diamonds and was facing court. The thing is, the entire jury team felt sorry for the man because he had a family and was struggling. The jury all decided to simply deem him not guilty out of pity and so the man was released. Teacher didn’t know about nullification. All he did was practice it.

Jury nullification is pretty much the whole point of having a jury in the first place. This is why lawyers and Judges hate it as it was always about the people controlling justice not the courts. Judges in the US have way to much power via plea bargains despite jury nullification. Which is the real reason for so many coerced plea (overcharged cases) bargains by the way.

@Inkyminkyzizwoz

3y↑47

*too much

And it can work the other way too. While nullification makes it possible to acquit someone if you believe that the law they've broken is unjust, it also makes it possible to convict them if you think they look a bit dodgy or have any other such prejudices

@nanajosh

2y↑34

@Inkyminkyzizwoz They can still do that with a guilty/not guilty system. Person looks dodgy and they don't like him or feel the law is unjust then they can all agree to guilty or not. Having a nullification puts that power in the people and says to the court and the general law that "we don't agree". Can it be used for bad? Yes but again so can guilty and not guilty. I also think it's better to have 3 choices rather than 2 because.

@Inkyminkyzizwoz

2y↑10

@Joshua G The other problem is who decides whether a law is 'unjust'? Because any law can seem unjust to someone with a particular mindset!

3:03 In any trial which requires the jury to be unanimous, a single determined juror can hang the jury, causing a mistrial. Prosecutors might not want to spend the resources it would take to bring the defendant to court again, especially if they believe that the result will be another hung jury or even an acquittal. A single nullifying juror could be highly effective, for better or worse.

@mattc3581

2y↑6

@ErzengelDesLichtes Tbh even if you answer perfectly truthfully that you intend to apply the verdict according to the law, and you know nothing about jury nullification, I would still expect a large percentage of people when confronted with a crime that was 'technically' against the law but which they perceived as completely justified would still say not guilty. So jury nullification probably goes on a decent amount just without getting much press, the fact you know about it probably doesn't alter how likely you are to do it very much. The only advantage to knowing about it is knowing that you can't get in trouble for doing it, which would maybe put off a few people, especially if the judge goes heavy on emphasising they have to give a verdict based on the law and only the law.

Why is every comment about people not wanting to be in the jury? Isn't it voluntary in America? Can you be forced to serve in the jury? That sounds like a terrible system

@SSardonic

4y↑333

Yes, you can be forced to! It's called Jury Duty, not Jury Volunteering. Your employer is required to give you time off to serve, and the court pays you for your time. Basically if you're a citizen and you're residing in the states, you might get a letter saying you have to come in to court to serve duty on a jury. They actually call many more people than they need for a 12 person jury, and then they pick the 12 people that both sides can agree on. It's sort of necessary in a country that gives every citizen the right to trial by a jury of your peers -- there's no way you could get enough jurors to support that just by asking nicely!

That's actually one of my favourite parts of the story: the story was written in such a way that the viewer need not agree with the decision they come to. The story doesn't tell you if they were correct or not, and they come out with a few of the jurors still thinking he's guilty, so it's clearly up for interpretation. I think we need more stories like that, ones that force the viewer to come up with their own opinions instead of blindly following the protagonist

I served on the grand jury once. there were some cases we asked the DA if there were greater charges we could bring, and some where we thought the arrest was because of the letter of the law but the intent wasn't being followed and dismissed. If ever asked to be on a jury again, that's how I'll explain my "yes" reasons.

@revparravager3184

This would be a lovely concept in practice but considering the fact that there are several means by which to reverse jury verdicts, even 'Not Guilty' ones, it all depends on the specific circumstances. People far too often believe based on their limited exposure to the legal system through their favorite tv show or movies that if someone is declared Not Guilty then everyone just wipes their hands and goes home but this is not necessarily the case and thus "Jury Nullification" is just another example of a way to have a verdict be decided and then later potentially thrown out.

As it pertains to verdicts in which the Defendant is pronounced 'Guilty' by the Jury there is of course the tried and true process of appeals (though appeals may be denied) but there is also an aspect of the empowerment of The Judge in a court cases. Judges are empowered to disregard the verdict of a jury, in the case of a GUILTY verdict in which he decides the decision is not supported by the weight of the evidence. This amounts to basically a de facto Not Guilty but it too can be overridden based on the circumstances.

In reference to verdicts in which the Defendant is declared "Not Guilty" by a jury its much harder to be retried but there is foundational support for the idea of a verdict arrived at through methods that are found to be criminal. This is ONLY when the procedures of the courts have been knowingly violated and perverted to achieve the result. This is built on the premise that a criminal may not be allowed to benefit from their crime nor evade the consequences of their crime by commission of another crime. This would be like if there were a capital murder case in which the Defendant was found "not guilty" due to insufficient evidence but the reason for the lack of evidence was specifically because of witness tempering, theft of evidence, etc.

If there is evidence that the Defendant in ANY case was found to have been strong-arming witnesses to not testify or if they had somehow destroyed or stolen evidence to be presented than not only will they be brought up on the further charges of their actions but they can be tried again for their original crimes based on the fact that it was their criminal behavior which led to the verdict.

The fact that nullification is more logic rather law makes me wonder if the government purposely avoids getting mathematicians and philosophers as jurors.

Mathematicians will overanalyze any facts they are given and philosophers will overanalyze the law. Either circumstance would confuse the living crap out of the rest of the jury and result in a hung jury. Which would cause additional work for the court in staging a retrial.

@bebejolie8187

I think at the beginning, trials would become less fair due to the nullification being present in everyone's minds and the sympathy bias Grey pointed out. Over time, when it gets buried a bit, trials might become more fair if it's more of a "oh no, we don't want to put that person in jail for the justified crime they committed, what options do we have?" kind of thinking. But that depends a lot on people actively burying it again, which would be really hard with court recorts and reports and news stories and such.

Trust me, the moment you bring up any form of conflict of interest, you're out on your arse, for better or worse (better). If one also has issues with practical management, you'll be excused from the panel just as quickly.

Jury Duty should not be compulsory, that's garbage.

@---cr8nw

4y↑1.4K

It's more of "well, we disagree that what the defendant admitted to is a crime." It actually happens sometimes in murder cases. The defendant claims self-defense, but the way things went down don't meet the legal criteria for lawful use of deadly force. But the jury is sympathetic that the defendant wasn't acting maliciously, so they vote to acquit.

@ceruchi2084

4y↑788

"But the defendant admitted guilt while in custody." I HOPE the jury has heard about the Reid interrogation technique, which is widely used in the U.S. and is designed to extract confessions—false or not. The assumption of the Reid technique is that the guy you arrested is definitely guilty. So to the cops who use it, it's morally justified to get a confession by any means, even intense psychological pressure and a nonstop stream of lies. The problem is, sometimes the suspect isn't guilty. Too bad: the technique is so finely honed that he usually confesses anyway.

@0Clewi0

4y↑407

There are many documentaries that show that admitted guilt doesn't mean they're guilty, they almost torture them to get a confession and in part that's why there are so many plea bargain because they don't let them free beforehand.

@trezapoioiuy

4y↑53

Yeah, it's like for instance, the reason the accusating side for a, say, racism-related crime will try to keep anyone they suspect might be a racist out of the jury. Because he could think the accused did indeed commit the crime, but he's fine with him doing that and will try to keep him from being punished.

@MMOSimca

@-- Worth pointing out that this is still nullification, even if the jury doesn't know the phrase 'jury nullification'. They're disagreeing that the legal criteria for lawful use of deadly force is a good law in this case.

I think you forgot the whole premise of the law and the justice system. It's a way to discourage behaviours deemed problematic by society.

It's as simple as that.

For anyone wanting to use this info to get out of jury duty, you don't go in yelling "jury nullification!". They will likely charge you with contempt for that (because you are essentially saying that you will attempt to poison the jury). Instead, all you have to say is ""I won't say someone is guilty if I think it is an unjust law that they have broken, even if it is obvious that they committed the crime." The judge will know exactly what you mean, and they will dismiss you with no further questions.

@edwardgoodson7628

The only reason to say that would be to get out of jury duty. If you feel strong enough about it to refuse to convict then you feel strongly enough about it to keep your mouth shut, it would be your duty to see an unjust law set aside since it is supposed to be a JUSTICE system.
