“A court is only as sound as its jury, and a jury is only as sound as the men who make it up.”
Harper Lee book To Kill a Mockingbird
Pt. 2, ch. 20
Atticus Finch
To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)

Gentlemen, a court is no better than each man of you sitting before me on this jury. A court is only as sound as its jury, and a jury is only as sound as the men who make it up.
