What if the Derek Chauvin jury had done the same thing as the jury in the trial of the four L.A. cops accused of beating Rodney King - ignored both the law and the  video evidence and delivered a "not guilty" verdict?  Mark and Joe discuss the history of jury nullification, its use (and abuse) in English common law and American history, and whether it still has a place in our current legal system. (Recorded August 20, 2021.)
