Glenn Reynolds: Nullifying juries more interested in justice than some prosecutors

Judges and prosecutors know this. But they don’t want jurors to know it, which is why we occasionally see cases like this one, in which jury-information activist Mark Iannicelli was arrested and charged with “jury tampering” for setting up a small booth in front of a Denver courthouse labeled “Juror Info” and passing out leaflets. Putting up a sign and passing out leaflets sounds like free speech to me, but apparently Denver District Attorney Mitch Morrissey feels differently.

Having been on a jury, it’s an intimidating situation. However, it’s important for everyday citizens to step up and be willing to shut down run-away prosecutors as well as idiotic laws that make no sense.
