During a criminal trial, jurors are told that they must follow the law and convict the defendant if the evidence clearly shows guilt. But what should they do if the evidence proves that the defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt but the law is unjust?

58% of Americans support legalization

This is a dilemma jurors frequently face in the War on Drugs. Even though 58% of people support marijuana legalization and 84% support no jail time for marijuana, federal agents have continued to prosecute medical marijuana merchants in states where it's legal under state law. Because most jurors don't know about their right to nullify the law, they often end up convicting defendants in these drug cases only to regret it later.
