RE: Hacking Society To Create a More Libertarian World
This is one of the more brilliant, practical ideas for making real change that I've seen in a long time.
I guess I'll be re-printing my own business cards here shortly. Thanks!
Thank you very much my friend!
I've already seen this strategy pay off by setting an innocent person free on a gun charge! They were looking at ten years prison time for "felony gun possession," and received NO PUNISHMENT because the jury nullified the law.
I also know one case where a jury was going to nullify the law, but the defendant caved in and accepted a plea "bargain" of ten years in prison (for selling meth to truckers). I knew a juror on the case who had gotten my cards, and was ready to vote "not guilty" which would have set the defendant entirely free.
BTW: #JuryIndependence is the tag for this phenomenon on Twitter.
Much love!
