Jury nullification is a fancy term for what it’s called when juries — or, in this case, grand juries — say no. It doesn’t happen very often, which is why you may have never heard of it. The old line is that a good prosecutor could get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich. Not so fast. Not in the District of Columbia right now, where a federal grand jury refused to indict a man for throwing a sandwich at a federal agent. It was one of three cases where a grand jury in D.C. refused to return felony indictments when asked by prosecutors — in some cases, backed up by videotaped evidence — to do so.

An army has been imposed on the district. President Donald Trump claims that he’s solved the crime problem; that’s debatable, but what’s not debatable is that he has created a new and different problem in the siege mentality that his takeover has provoked. The locals are not happy about what’s happening to their city. This is a top-down imposition of martial force, not a community working together. And if any more evidence is needed that it doesn’t work when you do it this way, jury nullification provides that proof.
Los Angeles prosecutors ran into similar problems last spring, when they had trouble getting indictments against those who had…
I'm being somewhat forward here, but this article needs to be re-posted on every site on the web and perhaps even on the front page of every newspaper that has the guts to do so. It is a great first step in bringing the courts back under the control of "We the People" instead of corrupt judges and prosecutors.
I was saying earlier that all activists judges should be impeached removed and charged with crimes that the people have committed cuz they don’t do their jobs ‼️✝️🇺🇸
