Americans are lighting sparklers , firing up grills and, perhaps even lifting a toast to one of the greatest ideas ever conceived this weekend. We should feel free to congratulate ourselves for our nation's unsteady, perhaps, but undeniable advance toward the dream envisioned by the drafters of the Declaration of Independence.

Jim Caron spent 10 months on a federal jury in Washington in 2007 that voted to acquit a D.C. man accused of racketeering, murder and dozens of other charges, convicting him solely on a $600 drug deal. Months after the verdict, Mr. Caron learned prosecutors still wanted to send the defendant, Antwuan Ball, to prison for 40 years. "He was furious, he was absolutely furious," recalled Mr. Caron's wife, Mary Brennan. "He told me, 'I'm going to write a letter to the judge.'
