ok well heres the story : A prominent boston businessman has been arrested for aiding fugitives from southern bonded servitude in 1856. Everyone knows he is guilty and he says he will commit the crimes over and over again until the African slaves are free.
ok what i have to do is this - As a reporter for a very abolitionist paper, you can deduce how the jurors will act just from all of the fanfare throughout the city. Describe how the jurors should render a verdict.
I have no idea what to do lol

Juries are constrained by the law in rendering verdicts; ideally. When the law changes, the verdicts can change.
