>THEOPHILUS PARSONS (2 Elliot's Debates, 94; 2 Bancroft's
>History of the Constitution, p. 267): "If a juror accepts as
>the law that which the judge states then that juror has
>accepted the exercise of absolute authority of a government
>employee and has surrendered a power and right that once was
>the citizen's safeguard of liberty, -- For the saddest epitaph
>which can be carved in memory of a vanished liberty is that it
>was lost because its possessors failed to stretch forth a
>saving hand while yet there was time."
>
>WILLIAM KUNSTLER (quoted in Franklin M. Nugent, "Jury Power:
>Secret Weapon Against Bad Law," revised from Youth Connection,
>1988): "Unless the jury can exercise its community conscience
>role, our judicial system will have become so inflexible that
>the effect may well be a progressive radicalization of protest
>into channels that will threaten the very continuance of the
>system itself. To put it another way, the jury is...the safety
>valve that must exist if this society is to be able to
>accommodate its own internal stresses and strains...[I]f the
>community is to sit in the jury box, its decision cannot be
>legally limited to a conscience-less application of fact to
>law."
>
>LORD DENMAN, (in C.J. O'Connel v. R. ,1884): "Every jury in
>the land is tampered with and falsely instructed by the judge
>when it is told it must take (or accept) as the law that which
>has been given to them, or that they must bring in a certain
>verdict, or that they can decide only the facts of the case."
>
>LYSANDER SPOONER (An Essay on the Trial by Jury, 1852, p. 11):
>"For more than six hundred years--that is, since Magna Carta,
>in 1215, there has been no clearer principle of English or
>American constitutional law, than that, in criminal cases, it
>is not only the right and duty of juries to judge what are the
>facts, what is the law, and what was the moral intent of the
>accused; but that it is also their right, and their primary
>and paramount duty, to judge of the justice of the law, and to
>hold all laws invalid, that are, in their opinion, unjust or
>oppressive, and all persons guiltless in violating, or
>resisting the execution of, such laws."
>
>CONSTITUTION OF MARYLAND (Article XXIII): "In the trial of all
>criminal cases, the Jury shall be the Judges of Law, as well
>as of fact, except that the Court may pass upon the
>sufficiency of the evidence to sustain a conviction."
