What does a man who attempted to pay a juror $2,500 for a “not guilty” verdict have in common with a 79 retired college professor who handed out information on jury nullification to people entering a court house? This is not a trick question, both men have been charged with “jury tampering.”

Julian Heicklen was indicted of jury tampering last year and now faces federal charges. Heicklen, a 79-year-old retired chemistry professor, has often stood outside various courthouses holding a “Jury Info” sign and handing out brochures that inform jurors of their rights.

Liberty activist Julian Heicklen again arrested and taken to hospital after refusing to stop distributing jury nullification pamphlets in front of federal courthouse in Manhattan.

The US government is charging FIJA activist Julian Heicklen with jury tampering. They may be doing this to keep us from informing juries of their power to find dissidents such as Assange and the anti war activists not guilty regardless of what the law says.

Julian Heicklen was arrested for refusing to stop pamphleting on Tuesday the 25th of May. He is being held, at Rikers Island, without bail till his court date on June 8th, 2010.

It was obvious the US Marshals knew that FIJA activist Julian Heicklen was coming, then again we made enough noise on the Internet about it. As soon as they spotted him in the park near the federal courthouse they were watching. They watched and followed as we approached the court. Julian walked right into the middle of the bunch of them. He was arrested before he could even hand out one pamphlet.

Julian Heicklen is a man I admire in a way that my mastery of the English language fails to find words for. Julian was a dedicated activist, whose focus was on fully informed juries. Julian stood near courthouses and distributed literature explaining to juries their right to nullify bad laws, and free victims of uncontrolled government. He has been arrested for this "crime" in at least 5 states, at least 11 times in Manhattan alone.

This time it started out differently. Adam Mueller and Pete Eyre from Liberty on Tour were there with Antonio Musumeci (otherwise known as "Bile" for his blog, Blog of Bile) and, of course, Julian Heicklen.

On January 11, 2011, I was notified by summons that I have been criminally charged with jury tampering. The moment of truth has arrived. My response to the court is given at the end of this E-mail. The dance begins. Finally we will have the opportunity to inform the jury in the U. S. District Court: Southern District of New York that the judges have routinely lied to it.

Julian Heicklen of FIJA and jury nullification was mentioned on the NBC drama/comedy Harry's Law (season 2, episode 1) about 75% through. It's a pretty mainstream show by the producers of Boston Legal. I've put links to download the show below if anyone is interested.
