RE: JURY DUTY - PART 2 - JURY NULLIFICATION

in #discussion7 years ago

We had a good example of Jury Nullification here in Dublin a few months ago in a hugely unpopular case brought against 6 protesters for 'false imprisonment' when they surrounded a minister's car during a protest against water charges.
Though there was ample video evidence showing the minister's car being surrounded by the protesters, and despite instructions to the contrary from the judge, the jury returned a unanimous not guilty verdict.
