In being on a jury, the individual is called to view from the perspective which he or she has acquired. Everyone understands this. It's why different types of people are called to make up a jury.
The question in this case is not if it was wrong to use the Bible to decide a man's fate, but is it okay for jurors to call upon a higher authority or moral center from which they judge? The answer is yes. Everyone has a starting point and concrete foundation where they form their basic opinions on right and wrong and, therefore, what is just. In this case judges are throwing that principle out because they didn't approve of the jury's decision.
