Jury supremacy is a type of judicial supremacy whereby someone, typically a liberal or a plaintiff's attorney profiting from the system, pretends that because a jury decided a particular way it must be true or otherwise infallible. In fact, jury decisions can be as improper as United States Supreme Court decisions can be, as in Roe v. Wade.
The Salem Witch Trials were an early example of abusive misuse of juries, whereby class jealousy was exploited in order to convict wealthier members of society. To this day class warfare is commonly misused in jury trials to try to turn a jury against a defendant. Political bias is also exploited, as in cases relating to Donald Trump.
