Yes..... lying for the sake of greater good is the mantra of the Democratic party. Another fine precedent sets by the Rats.
It’s a jury call, so not a precedent in the usual sense. No jury is bound by the decision of another, no court is bound by the decisions of a jury - other than in any single criminal case a jury acquittal is final.
The same exact facts can be used to convict a republican, and the fact that a juiry didn’t convict Sussman for the exact same thing is irrelevant.
Justice is naturally uneven. The rules are not applied equally. “Equal justice” is a self-serving myth, touted by the people who run the courts. They say it often, as though repetition makes it true.
that's the thing people forget about when they talk about jury nullification. It works both ways.
