"Who
Nullified
Jury
Nullification"
by Jack
Lawrence.
This well
researched
article
makes the
case that
the
Constitutional
right to a
jury trial
includes the
right to a
fully
informed
jury because
the Founders
were clearly
influenced
by
The
Levellers
(John
Lilburne,
Richard
Overton, and
William
Walwyn), who
were
responsible
for reviving
jury power
(and
introducing
most due
process
rights we
have today)
in 17th
century
England.
Read this
article for
the history
lesson, if
for no other
reason.
Jack
Lawrence is
a practicing
attorney in
Beaumont,
Texas. (The
