When jurors look beyond the facts (those facts the judge lets them hear, by the way) the system doesn't work as those running the system want it to work. I mean, come on, if juries considered justice beyond the facts the court let them hear, people might not serve time under unjust laws, unjust prosecution, or in this case a horrible law voted in by people who have no clue.
The fact MNGrouser, a prosecuting attorney, suggested above even the possibility a juror could go to jail for voting not guilty, under any circumstance of conscience, should tell you exactly what our justice system has become. He's telling us to shut up and jail those they want to jail, regardless of what we think of it. Is our jury system but a veneer of plausible deniability disguising a gulag system? Of the people, by the people, for the people......anyone remember that?
