This is relevant to men's rights because of cases such as the 19-year old who became a registered sex offender because a girl lied about her age.

Jury nullification could help prevent such obvious injustices, and should be part of the men's rights platform.

I had a stint of sitting on a jury once and it was an informative experience.

In one case, I was going-through the juror selection. The defense lawyer asked me a few questions and I answered them honestly; afterwards, I was asked to return to the waiting room.

That night, on the phone, I was telling my dad about this. He said "They did that because you seemed too well-educated. He probably wanted dumb people on the jury."

I went in knowing zero about the process and emerged knowing a little bit more.

easiest way to never sit on a jury if you don't want to; advocate for jury nullification, if they insist on bringing you in then bring pamphlets with you and pass them out to potential jurors.

Does jury nullification exist in Canada?
