&gt; one where jurors weren&#x27;t routinely disqualified from serving on a jury simply because they are aware of the concept of jury nullification<p>Off-topic but tangentially related.<p>I served on jury duty for the local court system and had an opportunity to speak with one of the prosecuting attorneys after my term was over. I couldn&#x27;t help myself from asking him how he felt, as a prosecutor, about jury nullification, and would have been surprised by his response had I not already been aware of his political leanings. It was his personal opinion that jury nullification was under-utilized and that it shouldn&#x27;t serve as a reason to disqualify jurors. Indeed, he wished jurors were generally more well-informed and at least aware of the possibility and utility of its use, especially given its history in colonial courts. (It&#x27;s a shame that some localities may have laws that could be used to punish such jurors.)<p>That much gives me hope, but considering how few attorneys and judges likely share his sentiments, I&#x27;m not sure if that hope is misplaced (maybe it is). Plus, it&#x27;s anecdotal with a sample size of one. ;)<p>I admit I don&#x27;t really have a point other than to share my experience, and I&#x27;m neither agreeing nor disagreeing with your assertions, but I found it interesting that there are at least <i>some</i> people in the bowels of the judicial system who have similar concerns. I&#x27;m just not sure they&#x27;re numerous enough (or ever will be numerous enough) to effect change.
