"What the jury didn't hear." You hear it all of the time on almost every news program. The fact is a jury needs to hear and learn ALL of the information. Granted nobody is above the law, but a jury IS above the law that is on trial.
Say, for example, that you go to court because your dog ran into the street and bit somebody. You will be on trial and so will the leash law. If the jury feels the leash law is a good one, they will find you guilty. If the jury feels the leash law is bad, they can over rule the law, get rid of it, and find you innocent.
Remember, the people are in charge and the politicians are here to serve them. Judges and lawyers are only third parties set in place to settle disputes. It is a great system! However, as of late, corrupt judges have withheld valuable information from the jury. Even worse, they have instructed the jury on how to vote, often saying: follow the law. Or, follow my instructions.
What is the point? If a jury has to follow the law, then why do you need a jury? Just find the defendant guilty and be done with it.
Again, the jury is above the law. Can create new laws. Can do away with bad laws. That is what makes this country great!!
