This is one of those things people talk about, but what is the actual impact
of jury nullification on the system?  I mean, what is the actual number of
cases in which juries refused to convict to "nullify" what they saw as
unjust laws, as opposed to, say, juries being bamboozled by celebrity
defendants, defense attorneys, or prosecutors?  Are there any stats
available?
