So Ammon Bundy's testimony is "we brought guns so we'd be taken seriously" and then "a bloo bloo the feds took us seriously!!"

Also that the refuge workers shouldn't have taken them seriously.

I'm not sure it's a bad play, in that it gives a sympathetic juror a way to reconcile the presence of so much firepower with the idea that they never were going to hurt anyone.

Since jury nullification is literally the only way that these idiots don't spend the next couple decades in jail, it's not a bad thing to throw at the wall to see if it sticks. It's not like they stand even a slight chance if they try to win on the facts.

Not saying it'll work, mind you, just that it fits in with their overall strategy.

The judge burst into unholy flame, stood, and cried "Guil-!" but was unable to finish her legal incantation before the bailiff, newly freed from satanic mind control, was able to gun her down

Is there any way for a court to deal with jury nullification? For example, if you've got one juror who's clearly nullifying (I don't know how you determine this) is that the end of any ability to convict?

My understanding is that you try to catch it during the jury selection process.

I still remember staying up late during the live streaming of the feds actually making their raid...which consisted of sitting outside the refuge overnight and listening to the occupiers scream and chant about their impending glorious deaths for the revolution as Negotiator Matt laughed at them until they gave up quietly.

They don't even want to own the land, they just want to exploit it for free. They want to be able to do anything they want without consequence, they are the worst kind of leech.

If only one is declaring not guilty then that's a hung jury and you can start the trial over from scratch with a different jury. If all twelve declare not guilty than the prosecution is hosed.

If the nullifier admits it to his fellow jurors and they snitch him out, the juror may be replaced in some circumstances.

Thanks. I guess this isn't a problem in practice, but maybe this is only because nullification isn't common knowledge? Either way there's an opportunity here to apply deep learning algorithms to prospective juror facebook profiles to identify potential nullifiers during voir dire. Any idea how much prosecuting/defense attorneys would pay for such a service?

Ever heard of the pest control company Truly Nolan? I went to elementary school with the founder's nephew, whose name was Maximum Nolan. His dad was named Really Nolan. There was also a Very Nolan in the family somewhere and god knows what else.

Honestly if I was a juror that had to sit through 3 days of Ammon Bundy i'd be asking the Judge if the death penalty was still on the table.

A short cross after a long direct generally exists to both make you look good to the jury and basically point out that the testimony is bullshit. 15min may havr been too long for the latter, though.

I used to work with a guy named Harry Johnson. Now, this wasn't a case of parents naming him Harold Johnson and not realizing the implications or thinking they were being sneakily clever. His given name was Harry.

He was the most unpleasant, angry person I've ever met but absolutely nobody called him on it because we all understood why he hated the world.
