RE: New Hampshire Looks To Require Courts To Inform Juries of Nullification

in #politics8 years ago

This is good, but unless it prevents "voir dire" it does little to fix the primary problem: that prosecutors stack the jury full of mindless conformists, thus essentially nullifying the jury as a check on government power. Juries must be purely random, minus those who are (1) familially-related to one of the parties to the action, or (2) doing business with one of the parties to the action. The following essay provides a fuller picture: http://fija.org/docs/BR_YYYY_surviving_voir_dire.pdf

Sort:  

"Voir Dire" ... jury tampering by any other name.

Sometimes I'm in awe at how well the corruption is intertwined with our realities. At other times I simply despise how much we are integrated into a system that treads upon us with little recourse.

I keep harping on those I know about Figa.org. They know I'm not daft... but cognitive dissonance seems to be a hard barrier to overcome. They are starting to come around though.
