Be sure to post the exclusions regarding jurors rights to vote the way
they want.

If I have time I will post it, because it's certain you don't even
know about it. Those instructions explicitly state that the court
cannot influence the jury into voting its way. It's based on a famous
ruling and bears the name of the case.

As juror I can have reasonable doubt and still comply with the courts
instructions.

Or do you not understand the doctrine of reasonable doubt.

That's correct in common law systems, but not commie systems like you
operate in. Where are you from - China?

So you are a judge. Now we understand.

You sound just like the judge in the Laura Kriho trial.

Thank God you are not in the majority or America would be as fucked up
as Britain and all the other totalitarian dictatorships.

Just stay out of Texas, or you could end up chained to the back of a
pickup.
