You may not know it but jury nullification is legal and often a good thing. Jurors
have the right and duty to judge the law as well as the evidence. If a jury thinks that the law is wrong they can vote a defendant not quilty even if they are guilty of breaking a bad law.
It's
clear beyond a shadow of a doubt that Trump and his mob incited
insurrection. Do the traitorous Republicans have the same luxury to not
follow the law and dismiss the evidence as jurors in criminal trials? I
hope not because I would like like to see Cruz and Hawley thrown into
cages.
We know that the traitorous Republican senators will never do the moral thing but if they don't know the law they could end up in deep shit. Let's hope this happens.
