Federal Jury Nullification

[ihopehefails]

The cas law states different, same with the appointment of counsel, not always, even if indigent.

And where is case law written in the constitution? Nowwhere. OK then it means nothing.

Nowhere?? How about this:

Artilce 3:

Section 2.
The judicial power shall extend to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority.

What is a case, as mentioned here. Would not a decision concerning a case be case law??

Precedent itself is not a law that we have to follow since it was not created by the congress.

Precedent itself is not a law that we have to follow since it was not created by the congress.

So the police do not have to follow Miranda or Escobedo since it was not a law created by Congress??

No. It doesn't happen regularly at all. Most juries don't lie when they take their oath as jurors.

The jury is not a government entity. The government has absolutely no say as to a jury's verdict. The judge cannot tell them what to do. He does not have that authority.

The jury takes an oath that they will follow the law as instructed.

You really think a juror can't be held in contempt?

I'm glad to see you are as uninformed about juries as you are about Israel. At least you're consistent.

Having only read this thread to this point I am going to go out on a limb and say this is ALL ABOUT the Scott Roeder cass.
