U.S. Court of Appeals District of Columbia Quote

Quote from U.S. Court of Appeals District of Columbia,

"Jury lawlessness is the greatest corrective of law in its actual administration. The will of the state at large imposed on a reluctant community, the will of a majority imposed on a vigorous and determined minority, find the same obstacle in the local jury that formerly confronted kings and ministers."
