What do I do if I do not agree with certain laws?

Iloilo Jones (Executive Director of Fully Informed Jury Association) gives expert video advice on: What is the 'power to nullify'?; Is jury nullification possible in all cases?; If I have questions or concerns about the trial, how do I talk to the judge? and more...

If there is a law that you really disagree with. I wouldn't talk about that with anyone on the jury if I were you. Just refuse to convict. Follow your conscience. You have a right to disagree with laws. You are a representative, even though you are an individual too. You also represent your community. If you as part of your community, as a member of the jury pool disagree with a law, and the standards and the restrictions it imposes upon individual human rights, or just on individuals. Don't convict anybody under that law. Stick to your principles.
