Step 1 - Engage target in a battle that doesnt matter
Step 2 - Loose battle but only just.
Step 3 - Enemy believes they are winning (We are here)
Step 4 - Begin Endgame of the real battle and win
Yes it does. Does the judge get to decide onesidedly to nullify or depends on prosecution to request it? On what grounds? And how can the judge decide to nullify? Is there any minimum test? My point is….not in this case only… but when can a judge decide he doesn’t like the jury’s conclusion and make his own judgement?
From the wikipedia post it sounds like it can be done at the judge's discretion or the prosecution can request. It also appears that the defense can request too.
Any attorney pedes here that can help to clarify jury nullification?
I guess my point is what’s stoping someone from just not liking the verdict and scraping it?
I would think that the law in question would be what's stopping that from happening but then again, we don't know that this isn't happening.
