88. Liberals value justice, and

the law throughout American history often was/is unjust.

Judges and juries have often simply done whatever they wanted, and could've done so here, which would've been to deliver actual justice. And it would've not really been nullification but simply a more just interpretation.

The authorities and the judge from the beginning showed favoritism and led the jury down that path.
