Jury Nullification CJA/344
Jury nullification should never take place. When it does happen it is meant to send a message to the criminal justice system that they believe the law is incorrect. When jury nullification takes place it is the jury taking the law into their own hands and overriding the entire criminal justice system. Jury nullification should never have to take place.

Present are two arguments and periods in which jury nullification exists in its most prominent form. In the mid-1900s’ when the issue of race and equal rights were running rampant throughout the southern states of the United States jury nullification was taking place daily. Black citizens may have been charged with crimes that they either did or did not commit, in many cases they did not and if they did it was because the laws were unfair. When they were set to be on trial the jury would convict them because the entire jury was composed of White citizens who either agreed with the laws or were afraid to oppose them. On the opposite end of this period, when White citizens were to be on trial for crimes against Black citizens they were immediately found not guilty based largely on the same reasons that the Black citizens were found guilty.
