This is sort of the basis for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jury_nullification https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jury_nullification It's a tricky subject though. In the US, it's been used to bring judgements closer to what we consider legal today, like refusing to convict on the Fugitive Slave Act or alcohol control laws during prohibition. But there are also cases of all white juries refusing to convict for hate crimes despite obvious evidence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jury_nullification_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jury_nullification_in_the_Unit...
