Jury nullification occurs when juries acquit a defendant despite convincing evidence that the defendant is guilty under the court's jury instructions; such acquittals are usually based on moral and political considerations and are unreviewable.

  • Décisions (Droit judiciaire)

On y précise d'abord le sens de l'expression «annulation par le jury». Il s'agit d'une situation rare où le jury choisit, en connaissance de cause, de ne pas appliquer la loi et acquitte l'inculpé sans égard au poids de la preuve. Pour la Cour, d'utilisation rarissime, ce concept inusité pourrait s'expliquer par l'oppression découlant d'une loi sévère ou de son application stricte.
