No Rogue Jurors Act

Key Points

• This bill would stop the government from giving money to any group or school that teaches people about jury nullification. Jury nullification happens when a juror decides to find a person not guilty even if the evidence shows they broke the law.
• The plan specifically targets groups that encourage people to get on a jury with the goal of voting against the law. It mentions programs like Equity and Root Cause Jury Training as examples of the types of training that would lose federal funding.
• Supporters of the bill want to make sure that court cases are decided based on facts and existing laws rather than a juror's personal or political beliefs. They argue that federal tax dollars should not support efforts to bypass the legal system.
• If passed, this would apply to all federal courts and courts in Washington, D.C. It would affect grants, contracts, and other types of financial help that these organizations currently receive from the government.
