I agree. A jury isn’t the place for personal feelings or opinions. She did her job regardless of how she felt about it. She should be commended for that. As for her comments now, she can say what she wants about it and people will make a judment accordingly.
Really? Let's turn on the way-back machine to 1850 or so.
You're sitting on a jury deciding whether to convict a man of aiding a slave to freedom in violation of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793 which required the federal government to pursue runaway slaves.
The man has confessed to the crime.
Do you vote to convict?
If so, then you're forgetting that the purpose of a jury in our Republic is to act as a legal bulwark to protect moral men who stand up against immoral laws being enforced by an oppressive and tyrannical government.
The jury is not merely a trier of facts in the case, but also to try whether the laws and enforcement are just.
Naturally, the court system does not want juries to know that they are supposed to be judging, not only the facts of the case, but also the laws and their enforcement.
