A federal jury has acquitted Bobby Nunez, who was charged with stealing government property by towing an immigration agent’s vehicle during the arrest of a TikTok influencer in downtown L.A.
the jury found Nunez not guilty of one count of theft of government property
the defense attorneys argued that the law enforcement vehicle was blocking the driveway to the complex and their client had moved it around the corner — just one block away. They said that the car was returned within 13 minutes.
Given what he was charged with, the jury’s conclusion is entirely reasonable. Towing illegally parked cars is standard practice in the industry. I don’t think its reasonable to conclude the result was from nullification.
For it to be nullification, the prosecutor would have to have brought an otherwise winning case. The feds no longer have comptent attorneys. They couldn’t even get a grand jury to indict a man for throwing a ham sandwich. The administration’s only wins come from the one court with no ethics rules.
Nullification would be nice, but unlikely to come up.

Oh yeah I wasn’t concluding, I was hoping from a position of ignorance. Your take seems completely reasonable.
