Reasonable doubt ?
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, February 20 2013 @ 01:44 PM EST
I would have thought that the scenario you envisage would entitle the jury to
entertain 'reasonable doubt' about the prosecution case, and thus the
defendant's guilt. mng

What's a "yield on green" intersection?
Authored by: Wol on Wednesday, February 20 2013 @ 03:24 PM EST
In the UK, green means *safe* to go, red means stop. End of (unless it's a
flashing green man which means "keep going but don't start!").

But yes, if I were on a jury and something like that came up, I'd simply ask the
Judge "my personal knowledge tells me the prosecution have got things
wrong, what should I do?", and if I don't get an answer my conscience would
tell me to go with my personal knowledge. Even if the Judge told me not to, I
might well do it.

After all, in the UK, what goes on in the jury room STAYS in the jury room.
We've seen here on Groklaw how jurors have been jailed for contempt for
discussing cases. It DOES happen.

Cheers,
Wol
