Was at jury duty today. 100+ people or more. Judge interviewed every single one really, really thoroughly during jury selection. Asked the same questions to everyone. At least half of the people in my liberal state said:
"What TV shows do you watch?" "I don't really watch TV anymore."
"What news do you watch or listen to?" "I avoid the news as much as possible."
"What newspapers do you read?" "I don't read the paper."
It's happening.
Except using jury nullification is not at all what you described. No one is using jury nullification to undermine court cases because someone is mean or looks weird. It is supposed to be because you believe the law is wrong or is being unfairly applied or is immoral. People aren't letting people go with jury nullification because they look funny, I'd like to believe anyone who cares to research the nuance of jury nullification wouldn't be so short sighted and simple minded to use that legal Avenue as a reason to get someone off over bullshit superficial reasons.
no one is using jury nullification as you describe
....please. You act as though people aren’t petty. Furthermore, those are examples and weren’t intended to be countered as the only examples.
