As you may know, in late 2014 the NH supreme court decided against Rich Paul’s appeal, claiming the “jury nullification” bill of 2012 was not in point-of-fact, a jury nullification bill. Turns out the 2012 law was gutted prior to passing and the rejected wording was more like JR Hoell’s 2015 edition of the bill, HB 470. Hoell’s bill was heard this week by the NH house judiciary committee. Here’s the full video of the hearing, which in addition to liberty-loving activists speaking, includes the “justice” bureaucrats trying their best to dissuade the committee from supporting having the jury being informed of their full rights:

Members of that society, a jury, may have the same foresight and need to be free to exercise. The legislatures… Read more »
The reality is that law is a snapshot of societies opinion at a given time You’re wrong there. The law is neither a snapshot nor is it society’s opinion. There are laws on the books that were enacted by people whose grandchildren died of old age generations ago, mixed in with laws passed this year. That’s not a snapshot, it’s an encrusted aggregation. As for the law being society’s opinion, that’s false too. The law is the opinion of the legislature, not of society.
