You will probably be told the exact opposite of this but they are lying...

As a juror you are there with the authority to judge the individual as well as the law. The law is being judged as much as the person is.

As a juror it only takes one person who decides that the law goes to far to bring a hung jury and the law is, in this case, nullified.

It is a juror's right and duty to know and exercise the full extent of his authority as a juror.

Please read this book.
I agree, I is just funning ya!
I had a great job with a big corporation in the 90's who had a policy that if you were chosen for jury duty, not only would they hold your job for you but you would still get paid!
Alas not every company or business does, or is able to do that, therein lies a big problem!
