Jury Independence


I get called to jury duty like clock work almost every other year.

From Fast Company...
Now the illustrator of Go The F**k To Sleep hopes to put a different subject to rest: the war on drugs. Yesterday Cortes released Jury Independence Illustrated, a roughly 20-page booklet delving into the problems of skyrocketing non-violent drug convictions. It's an educational pamphlet designed to teach jurors about the impact they could have on the issue--that is, by taking a more active role in the prosecution process, and basing their decisions not on the evidence before them but on their conscious.
It's tempting.

The free pamphlet is here.
