"
Jury equity" enables a jury to reach a decision in
direct contradiction with the law if they feel the law is unjust (or
unconstitutional). This can create a persuasive precedent for future cases, or
render prosecutors reluctant to bring a charge – thus a jury has the power to
influence the law in very major ways.
"Pottle
successfully appealed
to the jury to
disregard the judge's instruction that they
consider only whether the defendants were guilty in law, and assert a jury's
ancient right to throw out a politically-motivated prosecution,
in this case compounded by its cynical untimeliness." (Taken from

FREEMEN &
FREEWOMENby JW
Mon Sep 10, 2007 13:06 Dear Fellow
FREEMEN and FREEWOMEN,
DEMOCRACY is the RULE OF COMMON
LAW.
COMMON LAW is the LAW of the PEOPLE, by the PEOPLE, for
the PEOPLE.
COMMON LAW is made by congregations of 12
FREEMEN / FREEWOMEN as JURORS who ask "SO HELP ME GOD" for them to administer
JUSTICE.
However, EVIL COUNSELLORS, JUDGES an MINISTERS are
endeavouring to subvert and extirpate our LAWS and our LIBERTIES. They are
unlawfully and illegally denying us our inalienable RIGHT to TRIAL BY
JURY and, with their COVETOUS RULES and their FEIGNED ACTS of PARLIAMENT,
make MERCHANDISE of us.
INSIDE our Courts, the CRIMINALS and
TRAITORS have taken control.
We must LAY SIEGE from OUTSIDE
to our Courts.
Tomorrow night, at 7:00 PM at the
Ryde-Eastwood Leagues Club in Ryedale Road, West Ryde, Sydney (adjacent to the
West Ryde Railway Station) will be the inaugural meeting of the COMMON LAW
RIGHTS GROUP. The purpose is to call for VOLUNTEERS to distribute LEAFLETS
outside COURT HOUSES informing everyone of their RIGHTS, especially their RIGHT
to TRIAL BY JURY. The pro-formers for the leaflets will be available on my
website of
http://www.rightsandwrong.com.au/ so that anyone anywhere can
download them and print as many copies as they
wish.
This is to be an ONGOING CAMPAIGN until WE DEFEAT
OUR ENEMIES.
If DEMOCRACY is to SURVIVE, then it's NOW OR
NEVER.
