Is this statement true or false?
Please help me with this question.
Thank you so much.
"The jury, being the sole finder of fact in a civil case, is free in the course of its deliberations, in arriving at the verdict, to disregard the judge's instructions and pronouncements as to the law."

IS a 50, 50. Why because if a Jury can not be healed because a decision they make regarding guilty or not guilty for any type of case, and they have to follow the judge rules, for instance, when some prove of evidence is pull back or denied by the judge, the jury can not base they decision on this evidence that is void by the judge, and the judge will at all times have instructions for the jury. But they can not be healed responsible if the decision they make , guilty or not guilty, for example when they send to jail to someone not guilty and afterwords comes other evidence that make this man not guilty, the state is responsible for having a not guilty mean in jail, not the jury.

It sounds like a false statement to me. From what I know, Judge has the ultimate power to do whatever he/she wants to do in his/her court room.

I would say false because of "... ...To disregard the judges... ...."
