“The pages of history shine on instances of the jury's exercise of its prerogative to disregard instructions of the judge...”

At the Constitution's de jure realm of jurisdiction, any / all juries (each juror, individually and in concert) are to exercise their judicial role by determining fact (evidence as is verified) and law (at nature's law) — NO MATTER what, the criminal / justice architecture(s) states; AND, what instructions are given by a judge. Harmonious to carnal god philosophy, the current occupying statist theocracy infesting this land's god/judges direct the slave jurors to decide in a manner to fulfill said god/judge's prejudice.
