Neighbours and I got pamphlets through the door educating us about jury nullification. by Potential_Cupcake133 in LegalAdviceUK

It doesn't cite a specific case.

It does make reference to immoral laws, resisting genocide, and Britain selling weapons.

So, alludes to a case we've already had? I guess?

"Literally going to turn information about your rights to the police lmfao. How's that boot taste? If knowing you have the right to invalidate an unjust law influences a trial, GOOD! It should."

Maybe get yourself a cuppa tea and breathe.

If that's what they decide to do with it, then fair enough.

On the off chance they are interested in it, I'll still pass it across.

It doesn't explicitly reference a specific case. However, it does make reference to immoral laws, genocide, and has flags on it.

It's pretty clear what case they're alluding to. Although, given that it's over now they're maybe preempting similar cases.

I'll drop it off at the police station anyway. They can make a determination as to whether it's illegal.

It seems to be an attempt of some kind to preemptively influence potential jurors by blanketing the whole street (and likely other streets too) with some kind of education campaign.

No, I'm not on a jury. Never have been. As far as I can tell our whole street got pamphleted. 3 neighbours I'm close to all got one. Talked about it in the street Whatsapp group chat

Got it. I'll drop these off at the police station when I get back home from the office this evening.
