what do you think they used to do when a white guy murdered a black person?

What does the government even do from here, the whole idea was to let them let out enough rope to hang themselves with, only it turns out even a slam dunk case can't get past a jury. Appeal only works on points of law, not the facts, and the jury just told the government you can take your liberal elitist "facts" right back to Jew York City where you came from.

Where is this city?

Is there a way we could know if it's jury nullification?

No. that's why you can't stop it. Unless the jury literally comes forward and says "we the jury think he's guilty but gently caress it" there is nothing the prosecution can do. This is by design. The best defense against it is not ever mentioning it, even to say "don't do it."

Jurors should be required by law to explain their verdict and if they use the words "jury nullification" the judge should be allowed to shoot them on the spot.

Yes. So many charges and so many defendants.
If it comes back today, the jury ignored the facts and will almost certainly come back not guilty. The only way the come back ina few hours is if they all sat down said "gently caress the government" and agreed to aquit everyone. You can't have a vote and dicussion on each charge in the time. If they do come back guilty in less than 2 days, it means the jury didn't do their job.*
I'd say under 24-48 hours is the NG zone, 48hrs to 1 week is the guilty zone, and more than 1 week is the hang zone.

As this was a new jury, just sayin'

In fairness, I also said this:

This is not necessarily over. Remember this was a conspiracy charge. It was a conspiracy charge because it was proprietary jurisdiction, meaning federal charges requiring special maritime or territorial jurisdiction were not available (the basic substantive criminal statutes), same with the Assimilative Crime Act. The full weight of Oregon criminal statutes can still be applied here. That is not a double jeopardy issue. That is, if the state of Oregon wants to deal with this.

This is the absolute worst possible outcome. Now the wingnuts around the country have seen that they can do whatever they want and face no consequences if white enough. With Trump riling them up more and more, we will see much more terrorism this November. We know that jurors will gladly let them all walk even with mountains of evidence because they can't being themselves to make white right wingers face any kind of responsibility.

I want each of those jurors to personally watch what their idiocy has allowed.
