Yeah, people can be stupid, but they can be less stupid if they know the things they should know. Hence this post.

I think you’d be hard pressed to find any lemmy users who did not already know about Jury Nullification, sadly however most users seem to have a poor understanding of it. As though Juries should just make up the law for cases they hear based on the vibe of the case.
