    thanks.

    I did find an interesting review of Jury Nullification: The Evolution of a Doctrine Clay S. Conrad

    A very telling passage for me was :

    -----------
    Instead of conceiving of it as a separate and potentially dangerous institution that is the servant or agent of the people ... government has come to be conceived as embodying the will of the people itself.
    -----------

    I have never much studied US political history, that of the is long and complicated enough to take a lot of book reading. The supplanting control through the people seems to have been particularly subverted by the longevity of governmental institution (if I'm feeling generous).

    It's particularly sad that only a handful of politicians I have spoken to have the slightest clue about the history of the institution they feel compelled to enter, much less the people that choose to put their faith in them.

    tbh I have little real faith that jury nullification would ever be any use in modern times. "12 good men and true forming a jury of the defendants peers" hardly ever forms. I mean, who wants to place their faith in 12 people that weren't clever enough to get out of jury duty!
