Jurors have a right to acquit a defendant according to their conscience, irrespective of a Judge’s directions. Every defendant deserves access to fair justice.

Did you know that Jurors have an absolute right to acquit according to their conscience? Turns out some judges don’t!. Last week, a jury refused to convict four @Pal_action activists. The jury couldn’t reach a verdict after the judge refused them their rights as jurors. 1/3

Peaceful activists are facing a similar injustice in UK courts due to manipulation by ministers seeking to avoid accountability for the decisions they make. Nonviolent climate activists are being denied a fair trial by judges who refuse to allow jurors to hear their motives. 8/9

Regardless of the accusation, defendants should have the right to explain their motive. A jury cannot give a fair verdict if they are not told the “whole truth”. It is imperative that evidence is not withheld - doing so will lead to unjust convictions.

After a juror asked about jury equity, the judge mislead them by telling them they must follow a judge’s directions of law. The judge’s response is factually (and legally) incorrect - a jury can acquit IRRESPECTIVE of a judge’s direction. This has been the case for centuries! 2/3
