"We recognize, as appellants urge, the undisputed power of the jury to acquit, even if its verdict is contrary to the law as given by the judge, and contrary to the evidence. This is a power that must exist as long as we adhere to the general verdict in criminal cases, for the courts cannot search the minds of the jurors to find the basis upon which they judge. If the jury feels that the law under which the defendant is accused, is unjust, or that exigent circumstances justified the actions of the accused, or for any reason which appeals to their logic of passion, the jury has the power to acquit, and the courts must abide by that decision."
-- U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Maryland

No mention of Border's "Billion Dollar Mistake"???
Way back in the early 90's, Borders #32 in Dallas was selling books internationally via internet, then Corporate closed the operation, stole the idea and sat on it for years. Meanwhile, internet retailing exploded.
Goodbye, Borders. Everyone gets what they deserve.
