Jurors Mutiny Over Minor Marijuana Charge in Missoula Montana
An event that may have major repercussions. A form of jury nullification. 27 members of the jury pool refused to sit on a jury that would try a case involving two grams of cannabis. Unprecedented. Towards the end of the article the bias of the newspaper becomes apparent but the facts of the mutiny still stand. This may be a historic event, like the original Tea Party.
