If you can't follow the law in typical cases, you should not be on the jury, in this case for a capital crime charge. I do favor jury nullification, but only in the rare instance, where the facts are such, that application of the law would result in a great injustice given those particular facts. If one always voted not guilty in a capital case where the death penalty was in play, that would be highly irresponsible.

I'd never be allowed to serve in the Jury at first place.

By the way, have anyone of you ever served in the jury?

I always get bounced from the pool.  Tongue
