Apparently, it's rare for lawyers to draw objections during their opening statements, but it happened twice for Trump's team today and the judge sustained both objections.

To clarify: In jury nullification the verdict doesn't get nullified. The law does. The scenario of jury nullification involves a guilty defendant going free due to the juror's principles--and it's immaterial whether those principles are founded in reason, truth, morality, sound jurisprudence, or sanity.

Unfortunately so. Like I would do my best to jury nullify any marijuana case. But the history in jury nullification is allowing racists to do lynchings. Repugnant.
