Normally, jury outreach is a quiet affair with concerned members of the community traveling to area courthouses so they can pass out Fully Informed Jury Association (FIJA) literature to members of the public. Often this outreach is done on the day of the month the State selects people for their juries.

Bob Constantine was on trial earlier this week which is ironic because he had already been handing out jury nullification literature to jurors. The State kidnapped him and stole his property when they accused him of “manufacturing a controlled substance.” Bob handed out FIJA literature to the jurors selected for the State’s prosecution of Nurse Patricia Smith but these jurors were not convinced. They found her guilty of growing medicine in the form of marijuana so she’ll be spending a couple of years in a State of New Hampshire cage. Many of us knew we had to be more successful with the courtroom theater Bob was facing.

With so many concerned friends and neighbors, the jurors would receive a much more enthusiastic form of outreach from April 11th to the 13th in front of the Grafton Superior Court. Several of the nearby sovereigns got together at the Man Cave and with many voluntarily contributed art supplies, we had us a sign making potluck!

The affair actually took two days with Rob Nair, Lindsay Dean and Emperor Evan Pierce doing an extraordinary job of making signs representing some basic truths that they hoped to share. Thank all three of you so much for working long hours to make some truly beautiful signs that spoke truth to power.
