Did the jury do their job?

Yes.

JOHN ADAMS (1771): It's not only ....(the juror's) right, but his duty, in that case, to find the verdict according to his own best understanding, judgement, and conscience, though in direct opposition to the direction of the court.

ALEXANDER HAMILTON (1804): Jurors should acquit even against the judge's instruction...."if exercising their judgement with discretion and honesty they have a clear conviction that the charge of the court is wrong."

U.S. vs. DOUGHERTY (1972) [D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals]: The jury has...."unreviewable and irreversible power...to acquit in disregard of the instructions on the law given by the trial judge."

Cripplecreek,
You nailed that with a sledgehammer!!

Juries believe that the judge's orders of following "Legal" guidelines must be
obeyed. When in fact just the opposite is true. Sometimes it is necessary to
boldly ignore unjust laws or attempted convictions in the best interest of
fighting back a tyrannical court system.

There are judges out there who will thwart the defense during final arguments
when telling the jury that they can ignore any and all laws in their judgment of the case.
