OATH OF THE JURY
- We the jury understand that a free human has been accused of violating a statute, code or law.
- We the jury understand that government policies, codes, statutes and laws may be arbitrary, corrupt or obsolete.
- We the jury understand that our job is not to administer law but to administer conscience and justice as we may deem them to be.
- We the jury understand that we are not agents of the state and the state is servant of us. It is not for the state to dictate our conscience. It is for us to guide and control the state in its service to us.
- We the jury understand we have no right to convict a suspect who cannot be shown with certainty to have intentionally caused injury, damage, loss, harm or violation of rights of another human, and that our verdict must reflect that limitation.
- We the jury understand that even if we believe a suspect to be guilty, if we believe the state's intended punishment is excessive, unjust or inappropriate, we are obligated to protect the society and justice by preventing conviction by any means possible.
- We the jury understand that the state may gain power, advantage or profit from our guilty verdict and therefore we must, on occasion, restrain the state in its use of force and prosecutions even if that entails release of a guilty party.
- We the jury understand that when a free human is being unfairly infringed by the state that our authority as jury may be the only means by which that soul may be delivered from state abuse, power and wrongdoing.
- We the jury understand that no state is perfect, many are badly corrupt and the jury is an essential balance against the defects of the state without which tyranny is virtually guaranteed.
- We the jury understand that the state has no privilege of licensing or administering a jury. If any 12 or more adult people make decree, that is command to the state and the state has no right but to serve that decree. As in any court, that decree nullifies any law which may conflict. If the state fails to serve the decree of the jury, the state is in default, illegitimate as a state, and may be regarded as a fully unauthorized and alien rogue agent.
- We the jury, as “We The People” understand and claim our superiority in authority to the state. The state has specific charter, therefore the state is in default if failing or exceeding that charter. Free humans are the grantors of state charter and are the source of all policy, their actions are therefore legitimate in any instance regardless of codified state policy.
- We the jury are not vigilantes, we do not convict without certainty by evidence of guilt of criminal action, criminal intent, moral imperative and scale of punishment. If in the slightest doubt of guilt, we jurists shall err on the side of innocence of the suspect even if that appears to be a risk to society because a risk to society of a denied prosecution is far less than a risk of vengeful prosecution.
