Prospective jurors in Montana refused to convict on victimless pot charges.






On This Day in Jury History...

Today is the 9th anniversary of what has been dubbed the Montana Jury Mutiny, the Pot Shot Heard 'Round the World, and more!

On this day in 2010, so many prospective jurors in Missoula County refused ([link removed]) even to consider ([link removed]) convicting Touray Cornell over victimless violations involving 1/16 ounce of pot ([link removed]) that a jury could not even be seated. They effectively nullified in his case without ever being seated!

This is not the only time such a situation has transpired. In October of this year, prospective jurors in New Orleans also scuttled a felony trial over a victimless charge regarding 1 ounce of marijuana ([link removed]).

These hero jurors remind us that even if the government chooses to harm someone who is harming nobody, we as jurors can help protect them by exercising out right of conscientious acquittal!
