No Rogue Jurors Act
The "No Rogue Jurors Act" prohibits the use of federal funds for organizations, schools, or entities that promote jury nullification. Specifically, it bans federal grants, contracts, and financial assistance to any group that conducts training, produces materials, or engages in outreach to encourage individuals to seek jury service in federal or District of Columbia courts with the intent to vote contrary to evidence or applicable law. This includes promoting the deliberate act of voting to acquit a defendant regardless of whether the elements of the charged offense have been established. This bill directly affects organizations that advocate for or educate on jury nullification and receive federal funding.
