violate her laws, you are your own prosecuting
attorney, judge, jury, and hangman.

Justice consists of doing no one injury,

both the law and the facts.
?Samuel Chase

?Harper Lee
A jury consists of twelve persons chosen
to decide who has the better lawyer.

To exclude all jurors who would be
in the slightest way affected by the prospect
of the death penalty would be to deprive the
defendant of the impartial jury to which he
or she is entitled under the law.
?Byron R. White
Shocking writing is like murder:
the questions the jury must decide are
the questions of motive and intent.
?E. B. White
