Is there any case law that supports the argument that a jury should be able to rely solely on their own intelligence and expertise?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Hernandez, C068079, C068517 (Cal. App. 2015):
Here, "[t]he jury was as well equipped as any court to analyze the evidence and to reach a rational conclusion. The jurors' 'own intelligence and expertise will save them from' the error of giving them 'the option of relying upon a factually inadequate theory.' [Citation.]" (People v. Guiton, supra, 4 Cal.4th at p. 1131.)
