Episode 162 Bob Smilie on jury nullification

You, the juror, can judge the law as well as the defendant. But, they won't tell you that. I found someone who will. Being a fully informed juror puts a tremendous amount of power in your hands. The state doesn't want you to know you have power and certainly they don't want you to use it.

Fried okra is a Southern treat, and, frankly, a way of life. You can be anywhere at all and be in the South for just a few moments with just some fried okra. Okra is easy to grow and is key, in my opinion, for a proper gumbo. Find the gumbo PDF linked to the show notes page, here culinarylibertarian.com/156
