One of the most breathtaking twists during the high-drama trial of Kyle Rittenhouse was the moment that Judge Schroeder banned NBC from the courthouse after one of their journalists got caught running a red light while stalking the jury bus. “Last evening, a person who identified himself as James Morrison and claimed he was a producer for NBC News…and under the supervision of someone named Irene Byon in New York…he was following at a distance and went through a red light,” said Schroeder. “He stated he had been instructed to by Ms. Byon to follow the jury bus.” The judge...

Morris Solomon is now going through a Habeas Corpus review of his 1992 trial I received a jury summons in the mail last week. Whenever this happens, I stare at it for a few days or weeks, and then try to dream up an exotic excuse why I cannot possibly serve. I’m not trying to get out of my civic duty; I paid my civic debt years ago on a death penalty jury—and I was a casualty of jury tampering. In 1991, I was assigned as a juror to the death penalty trial of serial killer Morris Solomon Jr. Known...

The juror (who is an alternate) is a young woman with jet-black hair. According to the report, "The juror clearly instigated the exchanges. She smiles at him. He smiles at her. She giggles. He blushes."

Now comes word the FBI is looking into the records of a Fayette drug store as part of a federal investigation into multimillion-dollar jury awards. Jury tampering may be the reason for this probe. The Sun Herald Newspaper says the FBI has subpoenaed records from the Bankston Drug Store in Fayette.

I just got called for jury duty for the first time. I'm curious about jury nullification in case I get picked and get a consensual "criminal" case (tax evasion, drug posession, gun law violation, etc.). What would I need to know? This could be my chance to stick it to the man. ;) (Of course if I were to get a case of force or fraud I would follow the standing law.)

A RIGHT OF JURY NULLIFICATION IN SOUTH DAKOTA? Why Amendment A Should Be Rejected On next month's ballot, the voters of South Dakota will have the opportunity to amend a portion of their state constitution. Amendment A, if adopted, will permit a defendant in a criminal case to make a novel argument to her jury. She can, if she chooses, admit that she is guilty as charged but ask the jury to acquit her anyway, because the law that she violated is wrong or unduly harsh. This Amendment might seem attractive or relatively minor at first blush. But upon closer...
