Re: "Jury nullification" : Jurors can acquit despite evidenc

I have used JURY NULLICFICATION in EL Paso.
I was on a Jury that was dismissed and the Judge was irritated. He stated the whole Jury Pool for the trail was poisoned and sent us all home.
In fact that was years ago and have never been back to the court since. So I guess when you let the Judge know that your aware of rights that
years ago would have been part of the instructions to a Jury they don't like it. I hate it when I see Juries say we wanted to free the man since
we understood what he did. But the Judge said in his instructions that we had to follow what the Judge said.
This right like many American rights is quickly disappearing I suspect in the near future we may not have Jury trails any more since the state
does not really like free thinking free Americans. Just remember you have to let the Judge drag this out of you or he may find you guilty of
contempt. The draw back at least in practice is that you will never be on a jury again in the state of Texas.
