I was on a jury on a felony case. I told the judge that I did not want to serve because I am not allowed to nullify the law and I cannot perform my jury duties under the Indiana Constitution. The Indiana Constitution said that the Jury is the judge of the law and the facts. The defense lawyer got up and argue that the Indiana Supreme Court rule that the jury is the judge of the law and the facts.
The judge told the lawyers in front of the jury that he will NOT allow Jury nullification in HIS courtroom. The lawyer told him that it is part of the bill of rights in the Indiana Constitution.
The judge told the lawyers in front of the jury that he does not care what the Constitution says. He said that the constitution does not apply in his courtroom.
There was a fully informed jury member who passed out flyers about jury nullification in the Casey Anthony trial. He was sentence by the judge to 6 months in prison.
If you pass out fully informed jury flyers near the courthouse, you will be arrested and held in contempt for jury tampering.
That mean if you are serving on a jury on a prostitution case or patronizing a prostitute, you cannot find the defendant NOT guilty because you disagree with the prostitution statutes.
The prostitution laws are according to the judges’ decision on what the law is and is not. If you find that using the word GFE or escort services is not enough to convict the defendant, and the judge say it is prostitution, then it is prostitution. You cannot find the defendant NOT guilty because of how the law is actually written.
If you discuss jury nullification in the jury room, you will be held in contempt of court.
