When Justice Takes Its Sweet Time: Delayed, Denied, and Dealt With

A four-panel comic strip shows a judge asking a jury pool questions about health insurance grievances. Initially, nearly everyone raises their hands in response to being screwed over by health insurance. Then, when asked about outrage over a CEO being shot, most jurors look confused or unimpressed. When asked about jury nullification, nearly everyone raises their hands again. Finally, when asked who is likely to find the defendant guilty, almost no one raises their hands. The humor stems from the contrast between the jurors' initial outrage and their subsequent unwillingness to convict the CEO, implying they would use jury nullification to acquit him despite his role in the system that harmed them.
