Close, but not quite. Judge called a recess since he couldn't seat a jury, and the dude plead out to something lesser without trial.

It didn't go to court, so technically no. They indirectly ask you if you would use jury nullification ("would you have moral objections to convicting if the evidence conclusively proved guilt," or something like that). If you know what jury nullification is, and would use it in that instance, you'd have to say so at that point.

Apparently though, no one said they'd convict someone for possessing cannabis in this case, so the judge was unable to even have ("seat") a jury, and no jury apparently means no trial.

"justice" system.

Absolutely no respect for that shit hole, they can't even play by their own rules.
