Jurors judge the law as well as the facts.
Jurors are the last bastion of hope to free one from tyrannical or unjust laws imposed by government.
Jury nullification:
"Jury nullification occurs when a jury returns a verdict of “not guilty” despite the common belief that the defendant is guilty of the violation charged. The jury in effect nullifies a law that it believes is immoral, unconstitutional or is wrongly applied to the defendant whose fate it is charged with deciding. Traditionally jurors are free to disregard the judge if they feel he is part of the system of oppression. Jury nullification is an essential protection for citizens against governmental tyranny." --John Tiffany; AmericanFreePress.net
