the right of defense

It’s odd to see US v Rosenthal spun (e.g. here) as a demonstration of the need for juries to be advised of their power to nullify, after some of the jurors said they would have nullified had they known all the facts. The crime in this case is the judge’s exclusion of evidence.

I’d like to hope something good will come of this, but am not holding my breath.
