WASHINGTON (PNN) - May 11, 2015 - When is a gun not just a gun? When it's also constitutionally protected free speech.

A layman's guide to Jury Nullification

Submitted by Freedomman on Wed, 04/08/2015 - 16:30

The last stand against tyranny takes place in the jury box. The Legislative branch may pass unconstitutional laws and the Judicial branch may uphold them.
