The Growing Messianic Community in Ellis County, Texas

Jury Nullification is Dangerous

I haven’t been talking about this issue much because a recent www.EllisCountyRadio.com show of mine brought out some very good legal points of view (I credit Dan Gus for changing my mind on jury nullification…at least I think that’s who it was.)
