JURY: A group of 12 people,
who, having lied to the judge about their health, hearing, and
business engagements, have failed to fool him. - HL Mencken
"It is not only [the juror's] right, but his duty, to find
the verdict according to his own understanding, judgement, and
conscience, through in direct opposition to the direction of
the court." -- John Adams, 1771
I consider the trial by jury as the only
anchor ever yet imagined by man by which a government can be
held to the principles of its constitution. - Thomas Jefferson.
