[QUOTE="wilberforce15, post: 5067376, member: 5053"] John Jay. The first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. "The jury has the right to judge both the law as well as the fact in controversy." Meaning: the prosecution and judge can quote the law and cite the law, but the jury has the right to decide if it IS the law. The jury has full authority to say "ummm, that's not the law any more in this court." This is used to defend innocent defendents who crossed bad laws. [/QUOTE]
