Jury nullification occurs when a jury returns a Not Guilty verdict even though jurors believe beyond reasonable doubt that the defendant has broken the law. Because the Not Guilty verdict cannot be overturned, and because the jurors cannot be punished for their verdict, the law is said to be nullified in that particular case.

Lemmy.ml is pretty good
If 1000 people up and decided to do this, I think the world would be a much brighter place.
He did that? Oh never mind, if Biden did it, then it's ok if Trump does it, too. Please disregard my initial comment. It is in fact not immoral and undemocratic to pardon your own children.
What a terrible tragedy, these are incredibly dark times. How will we as a nation, nay, a species, recover? This is a really really bad thing, and I do not like it. What has this poor, poor CEO done to deserve this? God, it should've been me! It should've been me!
It totally and completely is. I mean, it's immoral and shitty, it's a rich white person getting off because of connections, but that's par for the course. It is expected. The annoying thing though, is the hypocrisy of a lot of the posters here. If Trump did something like this, they would be up in arms about how undemocratic and banana republic-like this all is. And this childish Harry Potter morality which determines how bad a thing is not by looking at the thing itself and its consequences but by looking at who's doing the thing really gets to me.
What does any of this have to do with Biden?

What he did was right. Yes, much like how Hitler's death would've been sad for Eva Braun had she still been alive, Brian Thompson's death is sad for those who survive him, but the world is a brighter place for it.
