This is the United Kingdom (from my point of view), and being a civilised nation, unlike you poor benighted barbarians beyond the pond, a Juror will do exactly that. The Juror's oath in the U.K. is to render a verdict according to the evdence. The United Kingdom is the only country in the world that permits a defence of breaking the law to prevent something worse happening. Jurys are concerned as much with the "why" as the "what." And a Juror is absolutely independent of the Judge. Which upsets certain partys. We had a case quite recently when a Jury refused to continue a trial because one or more of them felt that the Judge had taken a dislike to the defendant.
