Juries protect society from dangerous individuals and also protect  
individuals from dangerous government. Jurors have a duty and responsibility to  render 
a just verdict. They must take into account the facts of the case,  
mitigating circumstances, the merits of the law, and the fairness of its  application 
in each case. The recognition of the authority and right of jurors  to weigh 
the merits of the law and to render a verdict based on conscience,  dates from 
before the writing of our Constitution, in cases such as those of  William Penn 
and Peter Zenger. Should this right ever be suppressed, the people  will 
retain the right to resist, having an unalienable right to veto or nullify  bad 
and oppressive laws, and in fact then would be morally compelled to do  so.

 
I rest my CASE.
