    That’s seems pretty damn ballsy of them since unless they are extremely confident in the jury selection it’s practically guaranteed to result in a hung jury if they know that finding him guilty will result in the most severe verdict.

      Yeah there’s no better reason to use jury nullification than when government wants to kill a guy for political reasons.
