“The jury has the right to determine both the law and the facts.” --Samuel Chase, U.S. Supreme Court Justice, 1796, Signer of the unanimous Declaration
“The jury has the power to bring a verdict in the teeth of both law and fact.” --Oliver Wendell Holmes, U.S. Supreme Court Justice, 1902
“The law itself is on trial quite as much as the cause which is to be decided.” --Harlan F. Stone, 12th Chief Justice, U.S. Supreme Court, 1941
If a judge will not tell this to a jury before they deliberate, I have no problem with a law that requires the judge to do so.
