Jury nullification allowed citizens ordtak

en Jury nullification allowed citizens to come together and override the law. It is their right to acquit. There may be a situation where the sheriff or law may not be following the law and I will respect jury's and citizen's decisions.

en The defense knows that at some point this jury is likely to consider the death penalty. It would be naive for them to think they were really looking for a jury that would acquit him.

en It's disappointing when a jury comes back 11-1 to acquit and then a different jury hears the same evidence and comes back unanimously guilty,

en Appellate courts go out of their way to respect jury verdicts, ... You need real evidence of tampering or pernicious infiltration of the jury room. If you say a newspaper or media report has unduly influenced a jury, it's a very slippery slope.

en I'm no idealist to believe firmly in the integrity of our courts and in the jury system -- that is no ideal to me, it is a living, working reality. Gentlemen, a court is no better than each man of you sitting before me on this jury. A court is only as sound as its jury, and a jury is only as sound as the men who make it up.
  Harper Lee

en I think it's just something to mislead the jury. And I don't think there's a problem anyway, because very few juries ever acquit.

en If we went to trial and the jury believed the plaintiff, I am sure the award would be in seven figures. I don't think the jury would believe that, but you never know what a jury is going to do.

en Do you remember that story I told you back in January? Well now that you're actually going to be a witness, now that you're going down to testify before the grand jury, I don't want you to give the grand jury a false impression. I don't want you to give false information to the grand jury. I don't want you to be a cog in the wheel of an obstruction of giving the grand jury the opportunity to hear the truth. I need to recant for you what I told you.

en The judge instructs the jury to judge the case on the basis of the law. A jury swears on an oath to uphold the law. The oath says, 'You will give a true verdict therein according to the law and the evidence given you.' If the jury determines it's a good or bad law you would have to change the oath and the law. No one would know what would be enforced in each courtroom.

en If citizens are allowed to lie with impunity, or encourage others to tell false stories or hide evidence, judges and juries cannot reach just results. At that point the courtroom becomes an arena for artful liars, and the jury a mere focus group choosing between alternative fictions,

en Our actions were lawful, however, we were repeatedly denied the chance to explain why. We were not allowed to mention Article VI, paragraph four of the Constitution, which says that the treaties of the United States are the supreme law of the land. We were not allowed to explain our actions in the context of the Nuremberg Principles, which declare that citizens can be held responsible for crimes of their government. Nor could we explain how this war was a violation of the UN Charter. The jury made a wise choice with what they had. It's unfortunate, however, that they were denied the full truth.
