[QUOTE="wilberforce15, post: 5067324, member: 5053"] Jury nullification is as old as the republic itself. The jury is free to ignore a lwa that requires conviction. If the prosecution proves beyond a reasonable doubt that the law exists and was broken, the jury is still free to declare not guilty even acknowledging the offense was done. In turn, the judge can often set aside a shady or malicious guilty verdict. Both of these are in the system and can only be used in favor of the defendent as an extra layer to protect the good or innocent. [/QUOTE]
