Why is every comment about people not wanting to be in the jury? Isn't it voluntary in America? Can you be forced to serve in the jury? That sounds like a terrible system

Yes, you can be forced to! It's called Jury Duty, not Jury Volunteering. Your employer is required to give you time off to serve, and the court pays you for your time. Basically if you're a citizen and you're residing in the states, you might get a letter saying you have to come in to court to serve duty on a jury. They actually call many more people than they need for a 12 person jury, and then they pick the 12 people that both sides can agree on. It's sort of necessary in a country that gives every citizen the right to trial by a jury of your peers -- there's no way you could get enough jurors to support that just by asking nicely!

@@exantiuse497 it is forced but they pay but this pay varies by country jurisdiction etc. In america this pay is next to nothing, especially because it doesn't really scale with the trial length in days.

*mathematician This would probably return false in a programming environment unless the first condition is true, as the second only only says "guilty".

Ha, boolean logic!

It's more of "well, we disagree that what the defendant admitted to is a crime." It actually happens sometimes in murder cases. The defendant claims self-defense, but the way things went down don't meet the legal criteria for lawful use of deadly force. But the jury is sympathetic that the defendant wasn't acting maliciously, so they vote to acquit.

"But the defendant admitted guilt while in custody." I HOPE the jury has heard about the Reid interrogation technique, which is widely used in the U.S. and is designed to extract confessions-false or not. The assumption of the Reid technique is that the guy you arrested is definitely guilty. So to the cops who use it, it's morally justified to get a confession by any means, even intense psychological pressure and a nonstop stream of lies. The problem is, sometimes the suspect isn't guilty. Too bad: the technique is so finely honed that he usually confesses anyway.

There are many documentaries that show that admitted guilt doesn't mean they're guilty, they almost torture them to get a confession and in part that's why there are so many plea bargain because they don't let them free beforehand.

Yeah, it's like for instance, the reason the accusating side for a, say, racism-related crime will try to keep anyone they suspect might be a racist out of the jury. Because he could think the accused did indeed commit the crime, but he's fine with him doing that and will try to keep him from being punished.

@@---cr8nw Worth pointing out that this is still nullification, even if the jury doesn't know the phrase 'jury nullification'. They're disagreeing that the legal criteria for lawful use of deadly force is a good law in this case.

Honestly if the duel had been between consenting adults, had been conducted "fair and square" and they hadn't put anyone else at risk through their actions I wouldn't convict either.

The thing is, nullification can potentially work the other way too. While a jury could theoretically acquit someone because they believe that the law they've been charged with breaking is unjust, they could also convict someone just because they think that they look a bit dodgy or something

@@vcool He didn't say we can't nullify the law (though he said we shouldn't). He said we can't use it *as an excuse*, an excuse being "excused from jury duty".

@@ErzengelDesLichtes Tbh even if you answer perfectly truthfully that you intend to apply the verdict according to the law, and you know nothing about jury nullification, I would still expect a large percentage of people when confronted with a crime that was 'technically' against the law but which they perceived as completely justified would still say not guilty. So jury nullification probably goes on a decent amount just without getting much press, the fact you know about it probably doesn't alter how likely you are to do it very much. The only advantage to knowing about it is knowing that you can't get in trouble for doing it, which would maybe put off a few people, especially if the judge goes heavy on emphasising they have to give a verdict based on the law and only the law.

You just did it twice

So jury nullification is fight club? ;P

Does that work, I got jury duty in 2 weeks. and you say that during voir dire right? not in "excuses" in the ejuror site that you type in.

You should not do it that way. The judge could hold that your behavior was deliberately disruptive and intended to poison the jury pool. Don't be STUPID. Ask to speak with the judge and prosecutor in private. The judge will likely ask whether you will nullify or whether you might based on the evidence presented at trial.

No evidence supported the father being the killer, but the doubt was set because under NZ law, dead people cannot be defended in court. The jury set the young man free then immediately rushed to his side and... hugged him. Impartiality. yay for legal systems, a game where he who rigs best, wins.

The story doesn't tell you if they were correct or not, and they come out with a few of the jurors still thinking he's guilty, so it's clearly up for interpretation.

Inception 2

Only one person was ever actually charged like that (Laura Kriho) and it was overturned on appeal because the appeal's court rightly realized that the only reason she was charged was because she had advocated for a not guilty verdict, had it been a guilty verdict nothing would have happened to her. Whether that is true or not is irrelevant because if it even seemed to be true it would have chilling effects on future jurors who would be afraid they would be investigated if they gave a controversial not guilty verdict. The idea that someone can be convicted for perjury and not immediately struck down on appeal in this circumstance is theoretical.

***** How do you KNOW there's nobody else on the road?

Jury Person 1: Boy, this Case is Hard Jury Person 2: Ikr, what should we do? Jury Person 3: We have no choice, we have to commence in the Banned Law JP 2: No, don't say it! We might loose our Positions as Jury, turn BACK! JP 1: This is the only way out, Bill. We are left no choice. JP 3: N..... JP 2: Noo! JP 3: U...... JP 2: We can still stop this! Trenner, stop!

@@jonathanlewis6146 don't vote democrat like most do in cali

*too much And it can work the other way too. While nullification makes it possible to acquit someone if you believe that the law they've broken is unjust, it also makes it possible to convict them if you think they look a bit dodgy or have any other such prejudices

@@Inkyminkyzizwoz They can still do that with a guilty/not guilty system. Person looks dodgy and they don't like him or feel the law is unjust then they can all agree to guilty or not. Having a nullification puts that power in the people and says to the court and the general law that "we don't agree". Can it be used for bad? Yes but again so can guilty and not guilty. I also think it's better to have 3 choices rather than 2 because.

@@nanajosh The other problem is who decides whether a law is 'unjust'? Because any law can seem unjust to someone with a particular mindset!

@@Inkyminkyzizwoz that's why juries are made of multiple people.

@@Inkyminkyzizwoz We, the people decide whether a law is "unjust". There's a reason why we cast votes in an election to pick people who'd make our laws. Moral inclination is the biggest driving factor, along with projected prosperity.

Who would want to be on jury ??? U can help sombody out by helping then in court or against it other many ways than what they want or how they need it??

SHOCK PROOF buzzkill

@@shokprof2064 for someone who has studied law and wanna be a jury

comment tho -.-'

SHOCK PROOF it was me.

+Wells Why would you want get out of jury duty? I mean somebody's life is in your hand :V :V

+Nika Gogishvili Because you don't get paid for being on jury duty and often times your employer won't pay you in your absence. Some trials can take several weeks so you're effectively paying thousands of dollars for your time.

+ijirving you get paid for jury duty and your job cant punish you for it

bizzieone The amount you get paid is a joke. It isn't even minimum wage. *Up to* $50 per day (i.e. you could make even less), and only if you serve for 10 days or more.

+bizzieone Unless you live in one of the forty-nine states in the US which practice some form of at-will employment, where all your boss has to do is claim he's firing you for some other reason besides jury duty and you're 99% powerless to do anything about it.
