Everyone should know about jury nullification!
A jury has an absolute right to return any verdict it chooses. You can return a verdict of NOT GUILTY if you consider a law, punishment, or prosecutor unjust.
Mind you, if you mention this during selection, you may not end up on a jury.
Pass it on!

Your periodic reminder that one way to think about privilege is: who's allowed to make mistakes?

Around this time every year, I share a list of ways to support Native people. From supporting Indigenous people seeking abortion care to defending Native voting rights and keeping Native families together, here are some causes worth supporting. 🧵
