Jun 11Null set.
Sometime in August, I’ll have my first experience in a jury pool. For many reasons1, the odds of me actually serving on of a jury are about as good as me getting struck by lightning. Regardless, here’s a jury nullification pamphlet “written and illustrated” by Ricardo Cortés, Go the Fuck to Sleep illustrator. He also shares a pretty great Michael Bloomberg anecdote:
I confronted Bloomberg once at a Gracie Mansion BBQ, where I asked him to reconcile his administration of record marijuana arrests with his own admission of personal use and enjoyment. He hemmed and hawed. I asked why he wouldn’t arrest himself for the past use, and he said “That’s not how the law works.” I said, “So, really you’re just saying ‘I got away with it.’” At that point he said, “You and I have nothing in common,” and walked away from me. True story.

Note: I don’t really know what a null set is, even after looking it up. If anyone wants to explain it without using mu (Caroline, probably?), go nuts.
