Dave!, you have taken part in these discussion about Jury nullification before -- I have to assume you know all about it. Search "Jury nullification" in this newsgroup, both Larry and I have discussed it many times before (apparently then also in connection with the 2nd Amendment!!! At least one of these links is a reply to you, Dave! =oO ): http://news.lugnet.com/off-topic/debate/?n=16799 (the mother lode) http://news.lugnet.com/off-topic/debate/?n=15560 http://news.lugnet.com/off-topic/debate/?n=12103 http://news.lugnet.com/off-topic/debate/?n=9157 http://www.fija.org/ http://quasar.as.utexas.edu/BillInfo/FIJA.History.html http://www.fija.org/jury.pdf ("Trial By Jury" by Lysander Spooner) And without even looking it up, I know that a juror has the right to judge law and fact -- but I also know that you had best keep damned quiet about it in the jury room. I am almost positive that at least someone has been tried with something like "jury tampering". Ridiculous but true. One other point is that juries do not actually overthrow a law, the have the power to *never convict* based on the law as given -- which ideally has the same effect. Once you start understanding what our rights as citizens and freemen are really supposed to be, you will also understand why some of us are so disappointed with where we have ended up. Dave!, you know you're the ****, but what gives with this? =) -- Hop-Frog
