I'm not advocating that the laws should be abused, but in the effort to make sure they do their job truthfully and accurately, the same standard should be held to those who are on a jury.

just saying 'not guilty' because "don't like the law" makes a greater mockery of the system and the people than it already is.

just saying 'not guilty or guilty' because of a speech I heard in the jury pool room would be the same thing. IF we are actively discussing how inappropriate the system can be..what good does it do anyone to use the same tactics to get our point across?

Again, the justice system is all sorts of fucked up.. all I'm saying is that people need to be smart and not just enter a verdict just because they hate the system..
