Opening with Kasabian’s “Days Are Forgotten”, we delve into the forgotten principle of JURY NULLIFICATION, which stems from the ancient Common Law, and which is not mentioned by most judges in contemporary courts. It’s an important power that the people have to negate bad laws! Check out the news story and our analysis. Then, listen as El G Grande explains why both Arizona and the gubment cats in DC are wrong in their immigration arguments in the Supreme Court! We go into some valuable information for liberty lovers, and stress the economic benefits of unlimited immigration!

With music by Kasabian, The Fatima Mansions, Girls Against Boys (“Rockets Are Red” and “In Like flynn”), The Sex Pistols (“Bodies” and “Holidays in the Sun” – LIVE!), Steely Dan (“Black Friday”), Morphine (“Super Sex”), Massive Attack (“Man Next Door”), Iggy and the Stooges (“I Wanna Be your Dog”) blending into The Cult’s homage, (“Phoenix”)!

Case Dismissed

Posted by on 2012/04/19 No comments

A federal judge ordered the dismissal on Thursday of an indictment against a retired chemistry professor who had been charged with jury tampering for advocating the controversial position known as jury nullification while standing on a plaza outside the United States Courthouse in Manhattan.

The former professor, Julian P. Heicklen, had stood outside the courthouse holding a “Jury Info” sign and handing out brochures that advocated nullification, in which jurors who disagree with a law ignore their oaths and vote to acquit a defendant accused of violating it.

The judge, Kimba M. Wood of Federal District Court, wrote in a 27-page opinion that a person violated the jury tampering statute only when he knowingly tried to influence a juror’s action or decision by means of a written communication made in relation to “a specific case pending before that juror.”

The judge wrote that she would not “stretch the interpretation” of the statute to cover speech that was “not meant to influence” a juror’s actions in a specific case.

Announcement: Jury Tampering Suit Dropped

Professor Julian Heicklen, former defendant in USA v. Heicklen, previously under misdemeanor indictment in the Southern District of New York is pleased to apprise the public that Preet Bharara, US Attorney, appears to have in fact abandoned active pursuit of the prosecution, perhaps since discretion may be the better part of valor, and sub silentio, it seems that the US have conceded the first article of amendment to the US Constitution includes the unfettered right to discuss among and with our fellow Americans the meaning of the terms of art in the Constitution such as a criminal trial, a jury, an impartial trial, the jury de medietate linguae, and other important civil rights, without fear of being accused of attempting juror tampering because one attempts to engage their fellow Americans in a thoughtful and impassioned academic discourse on these complex constitutional questions, without segregating and excluding potential jurors from those who may otherwise enjoy the benefit of such a rigorous public policy and legal debate.

As a catalyst for an inclusive, tolerant, liberal America, it is a pleasure to note this important civil rights victory, and express our entire global defense team’s proud appreciation for the noble decision of the United States Attorney to in effect nolle prosecui the improvident indictment.
