[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Fotis had not taken the easy way out, I don’t know if jury would have found her guilty of the murder charge #1. 
I sort of think they needed to convict someone for that. 
Or did they have proof she was involved in the attack? [/quote]

This was a miscarriage of justice.  Jury nullification.[/quote]

Wrong.

Jury nullification is when a jury returns a NOT GUILTY verdict despite being convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant is GUILTY.

If there is probable cause to bring charges, if a court has determined after the state presents its case in chief that the state has met the minimum burden under the law as set forth in the charging documents, then a guilty verdict from the jury is not a miscarriage of justice.

How were her rights violated by police? What exculpatory evidence was suppressed by the state?

It's a miscarriage of justice that the puke Fotis got off by suicide - he should be rotting in prison for a very, very long time.[/quote]

Wrong:

Jury nullification also occurs when a jury convicts a defendant because it condemns the defendant or his actions, even though the evidence at trial showed that he technically didn't break any law. For example, all-white juries in the post-civil war South routinely convicted black defendants accused of sex crimes against white women despite minimal evidence of guilt.

You think I would throw around an important legal term without knowing what it means?[/quote]
