jury nullification can run both ways I guess .. but I've heard mentioning it is a good way to get out of jury duty. I've never been assigned it, because I don't vote. -

@hazlin @djsumdog @jeff admittedly tho it can be pretty frustrating. I got called a few years back and would've had the opportunity to help put away a (presumably) illegal drunken Mexican but they dismissed the trial after the third day.
There was a hippie Mexican girl on the jury with us and I think she would've voted not guilty in racial solidarity but we never got to that point. He's probably back on the roads boozing it up and having a good time. -

@alcade @djsumdog @jeff it is surreal when you get to tell the state to go pound sand -

@djsumdog @hazlin @jeff that would make jury duty arguably better because you can check the power of the state to bring unjust laws against your fellow citizens. -

@jeff the value of the vote, is the responsibility you feel, or that someone feels you owe xD -

The value of the vote is getting yourself drafted for jury duty where you are forced to sit in judgement of another man.
If voting made a difference, it would be illegal. -
