HB 332 (Criminal Procedure Revisions)

Libertas Institute supports this bill.

This bill helps ensure justice is served by making juries informed of their power to hold a person not guilty, even if a law was violated, if a conviction would create a manifest injustice. It also would inform juries about the potential sentence faced by the defendant if convicted.

Libertas Institute supports this bill. Juries serve an important purpose but they cannot fulfill that purpose if they do not understand their role.
