Zenger at 290: The Jury’s Duty to Say No to Government Oppression These historic powers still unquestionably exist today. Yet in a stark and extraordinary shift from past practice, modern criminal jurors are misled to believe that they’re merely fact finders.

"With a president who has shown a willingness to use the coercive power of the Justice Department to target his adversaries, this historical role of the jury is all the more important."

if the people have invested the government with power to make laws that absolutely bind the people, and to punish the people for transgressing those laws, the people have surrendered their liberties unreservedly into the hands of the government.

It's no crime to know about jury nullification as a juror.

But if you're trying to get out of jury duty, please reconsider: your vote could be the difference between the destruction of someone's life with a prison sentence and their liberation.

The pages of history shine upon instances of the jury’s exercise of its prerogative to disregard instructions of the judge.

In part because grand juries do not require unanimity to indict, the chief justice of New York's Supreme Court once infamously said, β€œAny good prosecutor can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich.”

But more grand juries are standing up to prosecutors!

When the leveller John Lilburne advocated revolt against the king and was tried for treason the jury found him not guilty. 

The public shouted their approval so loudly and for so long it was half an hour before the court could continue.
