<br></div><div>Things like Jury_nullification are not allowed in India. </div><div>Anyway, glad to see a solid reason for differences between our viewpoint!</div><div><br></div><div>Our understanding of whole situation is fundamentally different and I guess we will never reach any mutual agreement.

<br>
</div>I disagree. Theme review should not be a mechanical process.<br>
Guidelines are there to guide, not to enforce. Rules that cannot be<br>
bent or broken are useless and unfair to everybody. The principle of<br>
"zero tolerance" is morally unsound at best, and downright unethical<br>
and inhuman at worst.<br>
<br>
Humans judge. We're good at it. We do it all the time. Rejecting that<br>
principle is wrong. Human beings cannot be, and should not be,<br>
excepted to behave like robots.<br>

<br>
</div>Yes, in point of fact, I am a firm believer and proponent of the<br>
principle of jury nullification. I will not enforce "laws" that I<br>
consider to be unjust. I have said so, in court, under oath, on more<br>
than one occasion. I have flat out told a judge that I would be unable<br>
to follow any orders to the contrary on that point too. Needless to<br>
say, I'm usually able to get out of jury duty. ;)<br>
