As an American, you are the judge.
"Jury lawlessness* is the greatest corrective of law in its actual administration. The will of the states at large imposed on a reluctant community, the will of a majority imposed on a vigorous and determined minority, find the same obstacle in the local JURY that formerly confronted kings and ministers. ... The pages of history shine on instances of the jury's prerogative to disregard instructions of the judge."
U.S. vs. Dougherty, 473 F 2nd 1113, 1130, 1139
*Jury lawlessness is another phrase for jury nullification. How ironic that widespread education about the right of "jury lawlesness" may be the only practical remedy for rampant government lawlessness.
