Sorry to knock your post but this is the 2nd posting of an article from "Natural News." I've come across that site before and the articles on it are sometimes interesting to read but I treat it the same as the tabloids, a few tidbits of truth but generally a waste of time. Jury nullification is an actual doctrine which may be worthy of discussion here and this story may be true. However I find it odd that the article's "source" is a courthouse.com article that was published over a month AFTER the "Natural News" publishing date and it references no other specific article. My advice, read it for fun but do your own homework. You'll find "Natural News" has lots of articles about unfounded alternative medicine treatments and wacky conspiracy theories. Ridiculous logic can manipulate facts to mean anything you want.
Example: motion is impossible.
A man is trying to get to the refrigerator. Before he can get there, he must get halfway there. Before he can get halfway there, he must get a quarter of the way there. Before traveling a quarter, he must travel one-eighth; before an eighth, one-sixteenth; and so on. There is an infinite number of distances that must be reached before getting to the goal, which is impossible so motion must be impossible. This sequence also presents a second problem in that it contains no first distance to run, for any possible (finite) first distance could be divided in half, and hence would not be first after all. Hence, the trip cannot even begin. The paradoxical conclusion then would be that travel over any finite distance can neither be completed nor begun, and so all motion must be an illusion.
