    The one time I was almost called to sit on a jury, they asked a lot of indirect questions about interpreting and upholding the letter of the law. It’s a job interview. They don’t want even one free-thinking juror.

    You’d probably get thrown in jail for contempt of court, but all you’d have to do as a defense attorney for this guy is get the family member of a cancer patient who got denied by UHC to testify and explain jury nullification. Surely 1 person in 12 would be willing to do the right thing.

      I think of it this way.

      Every detective on this case knows of a family where someone got screwed over by an insurance company.

      Cops don’t love rich people, they just get paid to pretend to care.
