Letting the Juries Judge

Doing the crime, getting off without time.

A South Dakota ballot initiative would let juries determine not only guilt or innocence, but the wisdom of the law in question.

Proponents call Amendment A the best defense against misguided and draconian prosecutions. Opponents of the initiative call it antidemocratic and unconstitutional.

Jury nullification's new day: Letting the voters decide.

Guests:

Clay Conrad, private practice attorney and author, "Jury Nullification: The Evolution of a Doctrine"

Bob Newland, Libertarian candidate for attorney general, South Dakota

Andrew Leipold, professor, University of Illinois College of Law
