A Bill to Amend “An Act to Establish More Realistic Motions”
BE IT ENACTED BY THE STATE OF FIRESTONE CONGRESS HERE ASSEMBLED THAT:
PREAMBLE: The following is meant to act as a form of jury nullification which prevents all the major issues associated with jury nullification from being able to cause problems while also still enacting a fair and just protection of the common man from his government.
SECTION 1. “An Act to Establish More Realistic Motions” may be defined as the following legislation:
SECTION 2[a]. Section 2H of “An Act to Establish More Realistic Motions” currently states:
“Section 2G shall now state: ‘Motion for judgement notwithstanding the verdict may only be submitted by the defense, a maximum of (14) days after the verdict of a jury trial has been given. Motions for judgement notwithstanding the verdict may only be submitted in the case of a jury trial, and may only be submitted if the verdict is guilty. Motions for judgement notwithstanding the verdict shall have the same principles of motions for directed verdict & motions for summary judgement, except that they must be after the trial and must be in a jury trial. Upon acceptance, motions for judgement notwithstanding the verdict shall overturn the jury verdict of guilty to not-guilty.’”
SECTION 2[b]. Section 2H of “An Act to Establish More Realistic Motions” shall be amended to state:
“Section 2G shall now state: ‘Motion for judgement notwithstanding the verdict may only be submitted by the defense, a maximum of (14) days after the verdict of a jury trial has been given. Motions for judgement notwithstanding the verdict may only be submitted in the case of a jury trial, and may only be submitted if the verdict is guilty. Motions for judgement notwithstanding the verdict shall have the same principles of motions for directed verdict & motions for summary judgement, except that they must be after the trial and must be in a jury trial. Upon acceptance, motions for judgement notwithstanding the verdict shall overturn the jury’s verdict of guilty to not-guilty. Among other reasons to motion for judgement notwithstanding the verdict, the defense may make the motion based on the justness of the law. If it is deemed through proper procedure that the law with which the defense has been found guilty of violating is unjust and/or unconstitutional, the motion shall be approved and the verdict overturned.’”
SECTION 3. The Firestone Courts shall be responsible for enforcing this legislation.
Respectfully submitted to the State of Firestone Congress,
