Jurors are asked to decide whether someone is guilty or not guilty of breaking THE LAW.

One other purpose of a jury is to judge the merits of the law.

Take that attitude into a jury pool, and you'll never get to exercise it, unless you're OJ Simpson's jury.

I would wager that most libertarians who manage to get on a jury and start debating the "merits of the law," end up causing the case to go to mistrial.
