Groups that promote jury nullification would no longer get federal funding.
This bill would stop federal money from going to organizations, schools, or other groups that encourage people to serve on juries with the intent to ignore evidence or law. This includes promoting "jury nullification," where a juror votes to acquit a defendant regardless of the evidence presented.
Currently, there is no federal law stopping government money from going to groups that promote jury nullification. If this bill becomes law, federal funds would be prohibited from going to any organization, school, or entity that promotes jury nullification through training, materials, or outreach.
