Jury Nullification!!!

Seriously people. Know it! Use it!

Unfortunately jury nullification also has a very racist history. Not to say it can’t be used for good now!

As long as it still exists, use it for good I guess.

We can't change the system in a day, but we can use the tricks that racists use to nudge it in the proper direction.

And if they don't like it, sure they can go ahead and remove those tricks. Only makes our system more fair and straightforward, which is a good thing.
