That's "interesting." Does that mean that if The Judge says " I say that man is Guilty and you will, By God, find him Guilty!" you are going to do as you are told? The Judges job is to ensure fair play, rule on matters of law and to make sure that the defendant receive's a fair trial. Not tell a Jury what it may or may not think. Ok, fundamental urban survival skill: making sure that you know exactly what the Judge may or may not do. P.s. As a point:- In the trial overhere the Judge stopped the trial, recused himself and passed the matter over to another Judge with a different Jury.
