Jury Quotes

But for their right to judge of the law, and the justice of the law, juries would be no protection to an accused person, even as to matters of fact; for, if the government can dictate to a jury any law whatever, in a criminal case, it can certainly dictate to them the laws of evidence Picture Quote #1

If a jury have not the right to judge between the government and those who disobey its laws, and resist its oppressions, the government is absolute, and the people, legally speaking, are slaves Picture Quote #1

Trial by jury. Live wherever you can make a living. How could a government based on such principles fail? Picture Quote #1

A jury of my countrymen, it is true, have found me guilty of the crime of which I stood indicted. For this I entertain not the slightest feeling of resentment towards them Picture Quote #1

It is also one of the pleasures of oral biography, in that the reader, rather than editor, is jury Picture Quote #1

I hardly expected the grand jury to sustain me, after they saw everything different from what it had been while I was there. Yet they did, and their report to the court advises all the changes made that I had proposed Picture Quote #1

Getting out of jury duty is easy. The trick is to say you’re prejudiced against all races Picture Quote #1

It is surely easier to confess a murder over a cup of coffee than in front of a jury Picture Quote #1

We look in... Germany for a superstar. We began with 10,000 people, which applied. From these 10,000, 100 was selected. The jury is unbelievably competent Picture Quote #1

Usually when attorneys are assembling a jury, they’re just looking for sheep that are easily impressed Picture Quote #1

I certainly believe it’s over for the jury system, but we won’t admit it for a while Picture Quote #1

The facts will eventually test all our theories, and they form, after all, the only impartial jury to which we can appeal Picture Quote #1

Personally, I think it is possible to build a society that is moral on a nonreligious basis, but the jury is still out on that Picture Quote #1

A nation that does not read much does not know much. And a nation that does not know much is more likely to make poor choices in the home, the marketplace, the jury box, and the voting booth. And those decisions ultimately affect the entire nation... the literate and illiterate Picture Quote #1

I do not apologize for advertising. I think it is as vital to the preservation of freedom in my country as the free exercise of publishing a newspaper or the free exercise of building a church or the free exercise of the right of trial by jury Picture Quote #1

Of the liberty of conscience in matters of religious faith, of speech and of the press; of the trial by jury of the vicinage in civil and criminal cases; of the benefit of the writ of habeas corpus; of the right to keep and bear arms... If these rights are well defined, and secured against encroachment, it is impossible that government should ever degenerate into tyranny Picture Quote #1

If a jury of your peers finds you not guilty, I will reinstate you back into baseball Picture Quote #1

When the jury came in, it didn’t just disappoint me it shook the foundations of my beliefs, it shook the foundations of my beliefs in the justice system, in human beings, in my abilities and judgement and in my sense of reality. It just blew me away emotionally and psychologically Picture Quote #1

My parents wanted me to be a lawyer. But I don’t think I would have been very happy. I’d be in front of the jury singing Picture Quote #1

I did answer all of the questions put to me today,... Nothing in my testimony in any way contradicted the strong denials that the president has made to these allegations, and since I have been asked to return and answer some additional questions, I think that it’s best that I not answer any questions out here and reserve that to the grand jury Picture Quote #1

In our system, grand juries take every charge, every lie, and they try to sort the truth from the lies, and then they move forward into the system. And that’s how the system ought to work. We should respect the secrecy of the grand jury so they can sort through what’s true and what’s not. And someone is leaking, and if they are leaking from the grand jury investigation, then that’s a violation of the law Picture Quote #1
