Jury Service

I didn't think they'd ever call me back.

But, this time I'm ready to go. I firmly believe in the rights of a jury to consider law as well as evidence. Some might call that the concept of jury nullification.

But I ask a question of a higher order. I can't find the information that protects a juror once he makes his decision. At some point in the trial of William Penn, jurors were deprived of their rights and jailed. Out of this scenario came the fact that if a juror voted a certain way that was his right. Persecution for that act is not acceptable. The juror is immune.

I get hits about the Fully Informed Jury Association (FIJA). I'm past all that. Where is the protection for jurors who cast their vote based on evidence only as a judge would have them do?

I know it's there.
