A funny thing happened on the way to a trial in Missoula County District Court last week. Jurors – well, potential jurors – staged a revolt. They took the law into their own hands, as it were, and made it clear they weren’t about to convict anybody for having a couple of buds of marijuana.
Worth reading the rest of the story, and my own comment is: we need more jurors (potential jurors) like this. Small amounts of possession would technically illegal, but hard to prosecute.
