The Jury decides guilt and innocence, period. They can declare innocent one who has broken the law, even if he acted with full knowledge and intent — because they judge not only facts, but the law as well: they have no obligation to further unjust laws. Furthermore, because the jury’s power to determine guilt or innocence is not [and cannot] be limited, the Jury can decide you are guilty because you did not shave. That may be wrong — but that is the nature of the power to decide innocence or guilt.
Robert Bork, who took a leave of absence from law school to serve as a tank commander in Korea, during the Korean War, said that if he was innocent he would prefer a court-martial, if he was guilty, he would prefer a jury.
