A JURY IS A LAW UNTO ITSELF (3 of 4)

Editor -- Judge Quentin Kopp says (in part) that jurors understand and obey
the sworn oath which they accept before commencing their grave duties in
every criminal and civil case.'

When the 0.J. Simpson jury violated their sworn oath by not even pretending
to deliberate, it exposed the fact that a jury is a law unto itself. There
is apparently no penalty for violating the oath, which means that the oath
is meaningless and the jury is free to do as it sees fit.
