what does that mean?

@Deleted User Jury nullification

Like, marijuana laws for example

"Yeah, he had weed on him, which is illegal. But it's a dumb law"

ohh

so it's like

so in a case where the defendant is technically guilty but they feel the law was immoral or the criminal was justified in that circumstance

the jury should only apply the law as it is written

and not interpret it for himself?

No

Choosing to not apply the law at all

oh

that's dumb

Why?

because the reason we have laws inthe first place is to enforce them

What if the law was put into place by bad people?

well

what do you mean by that?

there isn't one person who makes the laws of a country

that's why we vote for them

What if there's a law mandating you to spit on a jew?

A group of bad people*

@galesteppes well i would love to, but who would vote for such a law

we don't live in a perfect world

not all laws are good

Dumb people can vote too you know

Take for emaple poll taxes and tests I the US @Deleted User

such naviety smh

yes but then you could have bad judges choosing not to apply good laws

@Deleted User No

and be open to bribery

lets say yu get arrested tomorrow for a post here

@Deleted User We're talking about juries not judges

oh?

"Nigger"

That'll be my defense

surely you'd consider it unjust?

The green fag here isn't helping

judges don't apply laws, the cops do
