This judge has contaminated an entire court system. The corrupt influence this judge has had in infecting an entire court system is self-evident. Where the Constitutional provisions or statutes enacted by the legislature concerning jurors behaving as docile sheep for a judge who chooses to deliberately misquote law are not explained. A central assumption of our jurisprudence is that juries follow the instructions they receive. Even if those instructions are authored by a judge as biased in favor of the government as Leonard B. Sand.
Jury instructions are merely helpful suggestions.
To understand how a federal judge like Leonard B.

I.e., the common law directly contradicts the bureaucrats' Benchbook. A lawyer can argue law to the jury before the court gives instructions. Stettinius v. United States , Fed. Judges are not required to inform the jury of the power to nullify.
