Who's definition of "injustice" will the jury use?

Their own. That was the plan. Yes, it will vary slightly from jury to jury. But there needs to be a check on government from passing laws not accepted by the public.

Slightly? You hope.

Remember, jurors are the same people as voters. Why would they suddenly be wiser in a jury box than they are at the ballot box?

There is already such a check. It's called an election.

Laws not accepted by the public can be repealed or amended.
