Robert Anton Wilson has an essay in Chaos and Beyond which discusses the history of jury nullification and advocates for the practice to become better known, as a way of restricting the power of the state to repress individual liberties.
With that in mind, here is some news which I believe he would enjoyed: Dan Clore put up a posting at alt.fan.wilson about a Montana judge noting the increasing difficulty in seating juries willing to convict in marijuana possession cases. Another article about the jury's "mutiny" in the same case is here.
