    If it’s a bug, wow. Almost 250 years, and they can’t fix it?

    Also, judges are there to make sure both sides play by the rules.

      It is fixed, albeit imperfectly.

      Jurors are instructed to determine whether a defendant is guilty of the charges against them.

      To return a verdict of “not guilty” despite knowing that the defendant is guilty, merely because jurors know they can not be prosecuted is still corruption.
