It doesn’t pay to let people know their rights

Here’s an interesting article about how a man in Alaska was convicted of jury tampering for attempting to inform prospective jurors about jury nullification.
I assume that one reason many lawyers (including judges) don’t like jury nullification is that it takes the law out of the hands of the “professionals.”
Funny how the system keeps fighting jury nullifications. What are they afraid of?

They are afraid of thought.

They’re afraid of us waking up and taking back control, that’s what.
