This has a name. Mob rule.

  Not doing this has a name, too. Slavish obedience. The jury is not supposed to be robots. They're there because there's supposed to be someone with judgment.

  Alternatively we can call it restraining our masters when they run amok. They're the same mob that we are. If the law goes against common sense / justice then the fuck with it. Why should we suffer a consequence of some lunatic with damaged brain.

  That's just a derogatory term for democracy.
