I don't think the lawyers are implying that they are contemptuous of jury nullification with this strategy. I think they are trying to downplay the impact of the leaflets, playing their client off as a goofy old man with silly ideas that everyone would ignore like a beggar.



I imagine a good lawyer would argue both that the leaflets were harmless, and that it was constitutionally protected speech, as a way of covering all angles.


And I would also hope that his lawyer(s) will get the leaflets entered into evidence, so that the jury can read them.
