Juries settle questions of fact - judges settle questions of law. This is law school 101.
You have been to law school now? Are you dropping your claim to be an astrophysicist? If not, don't pretend you know what law school 101 is.
My degree in physics does not alter the fact that juries consider questions of fact, judges consider questions of law.
Judges often instruct juries that they are not supposed to judge the law. That does not change the fact that juries actually have the power to judge the law, and have even been instructed to do so by judges.
