1. A jury that ignores the law and evidence in reaching a capricious verdict.\u00a0 *\u00a0 Rogue juries include those that base their verdicts on unrevealed, deeply held prejudices; on undue sympathy or antipathy toward a party; or on chance (as by tossing a coin).\u00a0 The verdicts often result in inappropriate awards, punishments, convictions, or acquittals.\u00a0 Unlike jury nullification, a rogue jury\u2019s verdict is not based on a desire to achieve a just, fair, or moral outcome.<\/strong> [1]<\/span><\/p>\n
