“Rodger Dale DeVries, 73, entered a guilty plea this week to one count of illegally importing polar-bear parts.”

Why? Michigan is thick with hunters, and they know about jury nullification.

Easy not guilty verdict by the hunter jury. The man needs to put some faith in his fellow hunters that they’ll do the right thing.

I certainly wouldn't be willing to convict and yes, this is a perfect case for jury nullification. OTOH, I could see the feds deciding to try this in a venue "friendlier" to them.
