Well the courts' job is to follow the law, obviously, but with that being said you can't really change it with-out undermining the jury system altogether. If higher-up authorities can tell the jury how they're allowed to vote, and/or punish them if they vote incorrectly that would defeat the whole purpose. In that case you might as well give all the power to the judge.

It's really something that's been done to do both good as well as bad so it's really hard to say.
