Jurors have a great liberty of deciding what they chose to decide in chambers, and Marbury doesn't limit that at all, I would say.

The judge doesn't determine the facts; the jury doesn't determine the law.

If it's a truly unconstitutional law, it needs to be thrown out by the appellate courts--i.e., the folks who DO decide the law--and an acquittal cannot be appealed.
