Jury nullification outreach has started up again in Manchester NH. Jury nullification outreach is activism with the purpose to inform jurors of their rights as a juror. A jury can serve as a check on the law itself if a law is unjust. Every two weeks jurors are selected at the Hillsborough County Court House in down town Manchester NH. There were five activists that showed up two weeks ago to hand out jury nullification pamphlets. This week we had four activists including myself, Riaz Kahan, Kurt Thomas, and Amanda BillyRock. There were two different pamphlets being handed out. The pamphlets are available from fija.org and nhjury.com The following dates in which future jury nullification outreach will take place will be on May 19th, June 2nd, and June 16th at 7:45 am located at 300 Chestnut st, Manchester NH.If you are in the Manchester area and wish to participate, meet us at the court house. All are welcome to join.

Beginning the monologue with, “Garret, I’m gonna kick your ass, you mutherfucker…”, the narrator goes on to repeat the “kick your ass” line, interspersed with references to a rough childhood, and expectations of a non-response to such violence by local authorities.
