That may be so, but booby-trapping is explicitly illegal in many countries because it basically means an intention to harm somebody else without caring about who the person might be.
I never refuted the legality. I said they're the bigger asshole.
You're begging to differ to someone who's explaining why this is illegal. We all already know thievery is illegal. Your distinction doesn't make any sense if you're not disputing the principle behind its illegality here.
You think out of 12 jurors you wouldn't have at least one nullify? They don't even have to know what nullification is.
Just maybe all twelve of them understood that the purpose of the jury is to settle matters of fact, not matters of law, and found that yes, you did actually put soap in chocolate hoping someone else would eat it.
