“Common Law Handbook for Jurors, Sheriffs, Bailiff’s & Justice’s”…
“Common law is Common sense”…
…The question each jurist must ask themselves is…
“Is there an injured party…???”
There is a Common Law principle which states… that for there to be a crime…
There must first be a victim… (corpus delecti), the state cannot be the injured party…
In the absence of a victim there can be no crime..!
This is what the grand jurist must discover…
“The constitutions of most of our states assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves, in all cases to which they think themselves competent, (as in electing their functionaries executive and legislative, and deciding by a jury of themselves, both fact and law, in all judiciary cases in which any fact is involved) or they may ask by representatives, freely and equally chosen; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed; to freedom of person; freedom of religion; freedom of property; & freedom of the press.” -- Thomas Jefferson, letter to John Cartwright; June 5, 1824; “The Thomas Jefferson Papers,” Library of Congress
