    People kill people in war and they don’t go to jail. Luigi fought for us in the war against abusive healthcare monopoly prices. He is a hero and should be freed.

      His is a wonderful use case for jury nullification. Just remember never to use that term during deliberations. Just vote not guilty, and if pressed, say that the evidence doesn’t support the charge. And say nothing more. Jurors are not obliged to explain their reasoning to the judge or to other jurors.

        This actually isn’t enough, right? It just results in a hung jury, and the prosecution gets another bite at the apple. You need to actively convince your fellow jurors to render a not-guilty verdict.
