Jury Nullification - FindLaw
The United States Constitution guarantees a trial by jury to all persons accused of a crime. That jury is comprised of average citizens from all walks of life with no special training or skills to serve other than being a U.S. citizen who is at least 18 years old, residing in the judicial district for a set period of time (typically one year), being proficient in English, having no disqualifying mental or physical conditions, and not having a pending or previous felony conviction. In fact, over 32 million people are called for jury service every year, according to the National Center for State Courts.
There are millions of Americans who have no idea how Judges falsely lead their jurors into wrong convictions and when you do not understand the law, as well as the terminology which often does NOT mean the same as the language you are familiar with on the civilian level. It takes on a whole new meaning which raises the eyebrows in those who have that Uh Huuuh moment.
