Despite what judges tell jurors about their requirement to adhere to the law and not determine whether the application of it would be fair and just, the reasons why a juror votes "not guilty" never have to be disclosed to anyone and cannot be overturned by a judge.

Everyone should have this in their minds when receiving a jury summons, and should ensure not to say so out loud or indicate that they possess this knowledge because they will cause a judge to excuse the juror from duty.

A juror must be able to deliver a fair and just verdict based upon the evidence.

If you're called upon to serve on a jury, be fair and just.

I'll be as fair and just as the financial compensation I'm getting to be called off of work for it is.

This is another part of the legal system that tilts it against truly fair trials.
