So you would be pro a situation like this:

White college kid is caught with intent-to-distribute amount of weed, jury allows them to walk away even though they are guilty.

Black kid is caught with intent-to-distribute amount of weed, jury decides to enforce jail time this time.

I mean what harm would it do?

I am not from a country that uses juries, but your hypothetical situation probably happens daily already. You need only look at the statistics to see that being black (or to a lesser degree: being a man) significantly increases the odds of a guilty verdict in the USA. To stick to your drugs example, your white kid is more likely to have cocaine, and the black one crack. And one of these drugs has much more severe sentencing guidelines than the other...

Right which is why I am saying jury nullification is bad. These situations happen because of it.

What’s the alternative? They both go to prison. Well shit if I can save at least one…
