Can I be punished if the judge doesn't like the verdict I vote for?
Sometimes you maybe the only jourer, who doesn't go along with the 11 jourer's on the case. Something in you won't like you vote, guilty or not guilty, neither one and you just have to stick with that. You need to know you've being courageous, but you also need to know that you not necessarily being brave, because you cannot be punish for your verdict. Jourer's cannot be punished for the virdict they render, that's why you're there. To render a virdict based on your conscious, based on you're own understanding of the fact's have been presented. No-one is to punish you for sticking to what you believe.
