| "Acting in accordance with your conscience surely means giving an honest verdict in respect of the facts of the case." That may seem to be a sensible meaning, but it is not the legal one. "Juries have historically used this power, such as in the 1984 acquittal of Clive Ponting, who admitted to breaking the Official Secrets Act but was acquitted by a jury who believed his actions were in the public interest." |
