You simply lack the moral integrity to give an honest answer because it would reveal hypocrisy on your part. No. I would make certain to inform an Alabama court that I believed Jim Crow laws to be unjust. That would, most likely, disqualify me from jury service.

The shenanigans of the rural, deep south courtrooms of the 40s and 50s were as wrong and immoral back then as are the shenanigans of some of the liberal municipal courtrooms today.

What would you say to the other jurors in the deliberation room? Would you voice your objection to Jim Crow or keep your mouth shut and vote guilty?
