If you’re being picked for a jury, you will be told you have to follow the law. That’s true. You have to follow the judge’s instructions. And you can’t lie about it. Don’t do that.

But no one can tell if you did follow the law or if you acquitted because the law was unjust. Why? Because jurors don’t have to tell anyone how they decided the case. More importantly, judges and lawyers are *forbidden* from asking jurors how they decided a case. /3
