I hope you never have you on your jury. You’ll probably hang yourself because you don’t like your haircut that day.

We are a nation of laws, and if you reject our laws, you shouldn’t serve on a jury. You are sworn in, but that obviously means nothing to you.

You need to read up on jury nullification.

I used extreme examples, but my point was simply this: Each juror has the right to weigh the evidence presented as he sees most fit and decide accordingly. After the verdict is read the court may ask each juror if that is their personal decision - a yes or no question. That is as far as it goes.

And I think I was VERY fair in my decision in both cases.
