I've never done it, but being the soul voice in the room keeping people from earning income, seeing their kids, seeing their spouse, watching football, and masturbating is not going to make you friends.
the person was pulled over with drugs in their car. it was pretty obvious they were guilty and you can't just say "I'm doing the nullification thing y'all". So I have to come up with reasons why the obviously guilty person might not have been guilty and be grilled by a bunch of people how dumb I am for 3 days.
So they all KNOW you are pulling some bullshit and being difficult on purpose.
And the judge knows you're pulling some shit because these things never last longer than lunch and he will NOT let you off the hook.
I argued that I wanted to see the beginning of the traffic stop so I could know the whole thing was legal. But you're supposed to make your decision based on the evidence the court makes available to you. And that's that. There's not any room to argue around that. So I just pretended to miss the point for 3 days until I couldn't take it anymore and caved.
I wish there was a drug or surgery that could purge this memory from my brain.
if you ever try to nullify a jury be prepared to feel the most hated you ever have in your whole life. I still shudder to this day.....
Is there any more you can tell us?
