ask your lawyers about NULLIFICATION, if charged ...
^ lawyers have requested the ability to inform juries of the concept of jury nullification and have been shot down. judges know it would open the floodgates and no more non-violent offenders would go into prison, cause juries are always more liberal than the judges will let them be.
a mistrial could be called if i lawyer requests jury nullification or informs a jury of its existence.
HOWEVER..... the areas in front of courthouses are supreme court sanctioned freedom of speech areas.... which means you cannot be removed from this area just for standing there and talking to people who walk by OR FOR HANDING OUT FLIERS TO THEM. there is a group called the "fully informed jury group" or something and they made a pamphlet that outlines EXACTLY how to properly execute a jury nullification legally, un-reversibly, and without tipping the judge or lawyers off as to whats going to happen in the deliberation room.
there is a key clause in American law that keeps jury nullification alive; its the clause that says you cannot be punished for your verdict, no matter what it is. and the verdict is binding, doesnt matter if they have a video of the dude committing the act, if the jury says "not guilty" he walks free that day.
