Seems to me a lot of new laws are harsh, with ridiculous mandatoring sentencing, and sometimes even in conflict with our Constitution. If you sit on a jury and they want to throw some 18 year old in prison for 20 mandatory years because he slept with his 16 year old girlfriend, is it not your duty to refute the law and hand in an innocent verdict? Perhaps admonishing the D.A. as the same time?
