And you seem to think it is illegal and unfounded in law when it is, in fact legal and goes all the way back to the 17th century and possibly further.
I won't debate it's implications in double jeopardy and jurors privacy, but let's not pretend that's it's only usefulness. A jury may use it when it feels laws are unjust.
