Your worst nightmare: twelve jurors stand between you and a miscarriage of justice, and none of them have read this book. Few doubt that America's judicial system is one of the fairest, but we all agree it has problems. Sometimes it must enforce unjust laws, or administer laws in ways that seem inherently unfair. In criminal cases, each participant has his or her proper role: the government prosecutes, the lawyer for the accused defends, the judge referees, and the jury renders a decision. But few realize the extraordinary power juries have to take control of court proceedings gone wrong, to undo miscarriages of justice, and help preserve the liberties we hold so dear.

Judicial history student and veteran juror Godfrey D. Lehman has compiled 12 cases from England and the U.S. in which jurors have taken it upon themselves, as a matter of conscience, to nullify or overturn horrific laws that endangered our freedoms. This is a wake-up call and a must read for historians, lawyers, judges, and, of course, all prospective jurors.

INCREDIBLE !!!! This book is written from the perspective of what true trial by jury is, not trial by jury as instructed by judges who use the law to the government's advantage. Best of the best reading !!!!!!!!!1

Learn How Juries Have Protected Liberty!

Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 1998

Lehman brings to life the drama of the wonderful history of juries doing justice and protecting liberty.
I found most interesting the details of how juries stopped the Salem Witch trials. Juries also stopped slavery in the northern states, and protected blacks in Detroit who fought back against a racist mob. Learn how a judge usurping the jury's power in the trial of Susan B. Anthony put women's rights back several decades.
Lehman entertains while you learn history as if you were in the courtroom watching.
We the Jury brings home why Thomas Jefferson said, "I consider trial by jury as the only anchor yet imagined by man by which a government can be held to the principles of its constitution."
