That’s called “jury nullification” where a jury can rule on the LAW as well as the facts. If the jurors disagree with the law, they can find a person Not Guilty even if they’re guilty as all hell. Jury nullification is a gift from William Penn, and was used to prevent prosecution of people who helped free the slaves back in the 1800’s. We can use it today, too—but at no point does a judge tell jurors of this power. But now YOU know. Google “Jury Nullification” for all the dope.
