The judges used to tell the Jurors that they had the option, then a court-case ruled that judges don't have to inform the juries of their rights.

You can't "ban" jury nullification, so the next best thing is to not inform the juries that they have a right to use it. It is completely legal, and just, for people to use their right of Jury Nullification....which obviously means the government is against it.

If you are ever put on jury duty, vote your conscience. Even if all the facts say he violated the law, if you feel the law is unjust, vote him innocent.
