POT CASE LIGHTS UP JURY POWER DEBATE
Group argues that juries should consider facts and whether law is just
Jurors who convicted Oakland medical marijuana grower Ed Rosenthal keep
saying they wish they had not done so, something they said most recently to
a national television audience Friday.
They know Rosenthal grew marijuana and they know federal law plainly forbids
that. But the jurors say if they'd known more about the medical purpose for
which Rosenthal acted, they would have "nullified" -- refused to find him
guilty, knowing he broke a law but believing the law itself is unjust or
misapplied.
