Fully Informed Jury Association, http://fija.org/
Did you know that a jury's role is not only to determine whether the law is violated or not, but also whether that law and the application of it is fair and reasonable or not? A jury is allowed to find a defendant innocent if they feel the law is unjust, even if there is evidence the person broke the law. This is called jury nullification. Even one person can hang a jury and stand for true justice.

What livestock owners see on a daily basis is often troublesome to new rural residents. Membership and support is not limited to the counties named.
