[quote=spdrun]Next time, make like Paul Simon’s boxer and lie-lie-lie to get on the jury. Then NULLIFY!
Fuck the law and fuck the people who enforce them with no human compassion whatsoever.[/quote]
I am into speaking my conscience not playing G-d. Great song though.
One is the idea that Marijuana is bad M’kay, so what do you do, you try to slap two felonies on a high school student. How do you think that’ll affect his life, we’re talking about his entire life. I think of the stuff I did at that age that if I’d been caught by these shit stains nowadays my life would be ruined.
Second is how invasive into pupils personal lives these schools have become. Face it, it’s High School, a glorified daycare, and faculty and staff are glorified babysitters. There are some great teachers and administrators out there, but they’re not the students only hope and saving grace. High School is just the last four years of a long mandatory sub par education system.
I think due to fact that schools are somewhat isolated environments, the faculty seems to lose touch with what the real world is like and they pump up their self importance to the point that they are checking to make sure girls aren’t wearing thong underwear to dances, getting passwords to students Facebook accounts, and allowing undercover “Police” into the classroom to conduct undercover stings and not focusing on teaching children to not make long run on sentences like they did when I went to High School.

If I were G-d, the punishment of the putzes involved in this stupidity would involve much less pleasant things than simply losing a case. Using an ill teenager in that way deserves some divine retribution.
Jury nullification is just human justice, not playing G-d. You can speak your conscience to the court, but no one will actually give a fuck, nor will it make a difference in the outcome. Getting on the jury at all costs might be a different story.

[quote=svelte][quote=Blogstar]I got kicked off a jury panel for saying I wouldn’t respect laws against possession and use in Marijuana cases . That was about 25 years ago. If more and more people will do that …we have the power.[/quote]
