Description

Good people refuse to enforce bad laws, but how do you force change in the justice system? How do the people peacefully take power back from an overreaching government? How do you stop thousands of people from being victimized by law enforcement and corrupt courts? The answer...through jury nullification.

Learn the secrets of the legal system that the courts hate for you to know, but are powerless to prevent you from exercising. You could be that one person that begins forcing a change in your city, county, or state that saves countless lives from the cesspool of the justice system.

As one of the closely guarded secrets of the legal system, jury nullification places the power of the entire legal structure of the country back into the hands of the people and allows them to nullify bad laws through refusing to convict on laws you don't agree with. Under this system of checks and balances, juries act as the sole authority over both the legislative and judicial systems of the Federal and State governments.

The jury is a check on us—it’s a check on the judges. I think the Framers were not willing to trust, in criminal cases, the judges to find the facts. Indeed, you know at the beginning, when the Constitution was ratified, juries used to find not only the facts, but the law. - Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia

“I consider [trial by jury] as the only anchor, ever yet imagined by man, by which a government can be held to the principles of its constitution.” - Thomas Jefferson

“It is not only his right, but his duty… to find the verdict according to his own best understanding, judgment, and conscience, though in direct opposition to the direction of the court.”- John Adams

In this collection of essays you will learn:
-What jury nullification is
-Why jury nullification is important
-Why free speech is not allowed in the courts
-Who actually holds the power over the entire system (spoiler alert... it's you.)
- and much, much more

Jury nullification takes the power away from those who profit from our current criminal justice system and place it in the rightful hands of the people. Lawyers and judges thrive off people feeling powerless and who obey their edicts as though they were absolute; however, the only person who has absolute power in the courtroom is that one lone juror.. and that could be you.

If the jury feels the law is unjust, we recognize the undisputed power of the jury to acquit, even if its verdict is contrary to the law as given by a judge, and contrary to the evidence… If the jury feels that the law under which the defendant is accused is unjust, or that exigent circumstances justified the actions of the accused, or for any reason which appeals to their logic or passion, the jury has the power to acquit, and the courts must abide by that decision.” - United States v. Moylan, 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, 1969, 417 F.2d at 1006
