Are you saying that a jury is "above the law" due to the fact that most of our laws are derived from "common laws" brought about simply through people practicing them? So, in essence, an opinion of the jury is likened to that of society on small matters and, because society itself is responsible for our laws the jury can set the cart on a different path, to a certain degree . . . makes sense to me. I was called to jury duty several years ago in Fulton County. I told them I was in school (I had gone back to business school) and they sent me home. Haven't heard from them again, but I'm growing the nastiest goatee possible just in case they call . . .
