'Out of interest. What would have happened in your opinions, had the Jury decided on moral grounds, to unanimously bring a not guilty verdict, despite the judges directions? Would they be Pursued for any breach of Oath ? All of them?'

I don't believe they could be. I don't think they can be questioned on the reasons for their verdict. However, they had sworn an oath (to Almighty God) and that oath required them to reach a decision based on the evidence, of wether or not the three had knowingly been involved in the supply of cannabis laced chocolate to MS sufferers.

Quite clearly they had been, even by their own testimonies.

The judge's instructions took over 1hr to deliver. They were carefully and precisely worded, so as to leave no doubt in the juror's minds as to what their function was.

Morality was not an issue. It was not allowed to be an issue. The jurors could not allow it to be an issue without breaking their oaths.

I cannot say how the jurors would have found the defendants had this not been the case. Only they themselves could answer that question but having sat through the case myself, I find it very hard to believe that they would have found the defendants guilty, had they been allowed to consider such things as motive, intent and the good that THC4MS had done.
