CLAY S. CONRAD: History is clear: Juries were supposed to be able to overturn laws. “Some believe that the right of jurors to refuse to convict in cases in which they believe a conviction would be unjust — what we now call jury nullification of the law — is obsolete in the 21st century. Yet this practice is something the founders knew of, and deliberately protected. Jury nullification was an important part of Anglo-American law.”

Yep.
