It is a sad state of affairs when after being denied the ability to see the law they had requested to see there there wasn't even one juror out of twelve who had the intelligence and/or fortitude to give the defendant the benefit of the doubt due to him, and at least produce a hung jury.

If the judge refused to say whether there were any exemptions that applied, the jury should have refused to convict without being informed of the exact and complete law the defendant was accused of violating. If, however, the judge claimed falsely that there were no applicable exemptions, I'm not sure how a jury should have known he was lying.

I do hope some people come to power before the statute of limitations expires, who can put prosecute criminals like the judge in this case. Judges may be immune for actions performed in the line of duty, but illegitimate actions form no part of a government agent's legitimate duties.
