I believe judges have the right to refer to the Bible, or for that matter any book when arriving that their decisions.

A jury should have the same right.

[Paradox]

A jury does not have the right to refer to ANYTHING not introduced during the trial. The jurors, in this case, screwed up, and now a piece of crap is free..

I agree. As I said in a piece at http://www.christianebooks.com/gravestonesandbiblesinjuryrooms.htm, "What would have been considered a normal thing just a generation ago, is now justification for overturning the will of a jury. This is why Democrats are turning red."
