Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Jury nullification, the refusal of a jury to convict no matter how compelling the prosecution’s case, is a powerful legal concept that dates back to colonial times. Kojo speaks to a panel of legal experts about cases of acquittal by nullification and the apparent increase of such cases in Washington, D.C.
