[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1375105, member: 18945"] Exactly. "‘Juries were instituted to protect citizens from the tyranny of the government’" and 1st Supreme Court Chief Justice John Jay agreed. (Yes--that John Jay, co-author of The Federalist Papers and one of the co-writers of the US Constitution) [i]‘It is presumed that juries are the best judges of the facts; it is, on the other hand, presumed that courts are the best judges of the law. But still, both objects are within your power of decision’¦you have a right to take it upon yourselves to judge both, and to determine the law as well as the facts in controversy.’[/i] 1794. [/QUOTE]
