"Stettinius v. United States", 13,387 (D.C. Cir. 1839), was a decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit that was handed down November, 1839. Confirmed right of defendant in criminal case not to have judge render decision on motions until all arguments made, to defer making those arguments until the jury is empaneled, and to make those legal arguments to the jury.
Impact
The case has been cited by proponents of jury nullification because the jury was allowed to decide an issue of law. [ [http://www.constitution.org/jury/pj/pj-us.htm Constitution Society citation to Fenwick (accessed July 17, 2008)] ]
