Comments by "SmallSpoonBrigade" (@SmallSpoonBrigade) on "Jury Nullification Conviction Tossed by MI Supreme Court - Ep. 6.639" video.
Nullification isn't a right, it's a way of using the rights that jurors are given. It's also an abuse of power. Jury trials are unpredictable even without such abuses of power. The lawyers aren't going to know if it's a matter of not meeting the burden of proof or if the jury just decided that they didn't like the law. It also is on a case by case basis and if juries start striking down the best laws to set precedence with, then it can take a long time for reform to occur.

@swdierks what about the next person? By voting to acquit none of the potential challenges can be heard by the higher level courts and as such you keep seeing people being charged.
