Stephen Miller has erupted at “blatant jury nullification” after a Los Angeles tow truck driver was acquitted of stealing an ICE vehicle in the latest embarrassment for Donald Trump’s Justice Department.

Bobby Nuñez, 33, was charged with theft of government property after towing away a locked ICE SUV—with its keys and firearm secured inside—during a chaotic immigration arrest in downtown Los Angeles on Aug. 15.

Video from the scene showed federal agents chasing the truck as it pulled away, before arresting Nuñez and leading him away in handcuffs.

    When you can’t comprehend that jury nullification is a by product of our judicial system. It can be used for bad or good - see lynchings of the jim crow era vs those helping slaves escape.

    This prick is the embodiment of the fascist belief that the law has in groups that it does not bind but protects and our groups that bind but do not protect.

    The vehicle was blocking a driveway, and it was towed a block away. ICE was back in that car less than 15 later.

    10 years in prison is way overkill for that.

    Pee Wee Himmler better get used to lots and lots of jury nullification. It’s probably why this little asshat is trying to get away with disappearing people with no trial - he hates and despises We, The People.

      Jury nullification is the real reasons juries exist. Pass all the corrupt laws and appoint all the corrupt justices you want. As long as we still have trial by jury we have a check on power from the citizens.

        a judge can issue a judgment notwithstanding the verdict (JNOV) if they determine that no reasonable jury could have reached the verdict based on the evidence.

        So while it is rare the judge can still fuck everyone involved in the case no matter what the jury says.

    Stephen Miller has erupted at “blatant jury nullification”

    Jury nullification is entirely legal and built into the American justice system. Jury decision to nullify is final and protects from unjust application of laws. Cry about it, Nazi.

    The only thing I want coming out of Stephen Millers mouth is the executioners bullet after that Nazi ghoul is tried and sentenced for his crimes against humanity.
