Thomas Jefferson described our jury system as:
"the only anchor ever yet imagined by man by which a government can be held to the principles of its Constitution."
For 200 years, the ultimate power of our American democratic society
has been kept in the hands of the citizens of the United States by Two(2) Boxes:
1) the Ballot Box
2) the Jury Box.
