Intro

1. Claims about left‑wing funding and jury nullification

• Certain left‑wing or activist groups are promoting jury nullification—encouraging jurors to acquit defendants even if they believe the defendants are guilty.
• They cite examples from Minneapolis, focusing on activist networks promoting “jury nullification training.”
• The hosts frame this as part of a broader political effort they associate with progressive donors and organizations.
• Historical examples of jury nullification—both positive and negative—are mentioned (e.g., Fugitive Slave Act resistance, Emmett Till case).
• They argue that encouraging political jurors to “lie during voir dire” would undermine the justice system.
