Top Tweets for #KarenReadIsNotGuilty

I've seen a lot of discussion online about jury nullification and the Read verdict. Nullification occurs where a jury simply refuses to convict after deliberately ignoring evidence of guilt without a true consideration of the facts, and they acquit for a reason other than a good faith finding of reasonable doubt, such as sympathy or as an act of civil disobedience. There is nothing to suggest than Karen was acquitted by a nullifying jury. To the contrary, as detailed by at least 4 jurors who have spoken publicly, the jury seems to have acquitted the normal and boring old fashioned way: following the law after finding reasonable doubt. A bunch of angry trolls calling the verdict an act of nullification...are nullifying the truth--the existence of substantial reasonable doubt.
