Law itself on trial

“If a juror feels that the statute involved in any criminal offense is unfair, or that it infringes upon the defendant’s natural god-given unalienable or constitutional rights, then it is his duty to affirm that the offending statute is really no law at all and that the violation of it is no crime at all, for no one is bound to obey an unjust law.”

“The juror must vote “not guilty” regardless of the pressures or abuses that may be heaped on him by any or all members of the jury with whom he may, in good conscience, disagree. He is voting on the justice of the law according to his own conscience & convictions and not someone else’s. The law, itself, is on trial, quite as much as the case which is to be decided.”
