BTW, you are not suggesting that all laws be done away with are you?

Obviously not.

If you are saying that laws need to be examined to see if they aid in the execution of an orderly society, and those that are not are tossed while keeping those we all agree are needed. Then I am with you on that front. A society without laws would soon fall apart.

Not quite what I was getting at; I was touching more on philosophy and jurisprudence — should a body whose existence is the determination of guilt/innocence [the Jury] be denied access to the very law that is being used to accuse the person, then they must rely on some other entity and cannot legitimately be said to be deciding on their own.

Ah, very good. Agreed.
