I think that by the time an individual reaches the point of standing before a jury, that individual is destroyed financially; the state has effectively won regardless of the verdict or nullification.
(My thoughts at this time, I appreciate your feedback.)
Yes - and no. A lawyer can demand a "speedy trial" (the Sixth Amendment, which the far left has not yet undermined), which at least in the states I am familiar with starts a limited clock and reduces the financial damage from a frivolous or malicious prosecution. Also, there is a difference between the financial damage from 90 days without working even if held without bail (Amendment Eight), and the unrecoverable damage of a felony conviction. I would be more than happy to be the defendant in a case like this, and it would not surprise me if a patriotic veteran was comfortable with taking that risk. If someone is in that situation, for patriotic reasons or just from bad luck, I want to be there to vote for acquittal.
