In the past AND currently

YOUR response is not a of law

You have it exactly backwards. It is you that has imagined a brand new standard without citing any legal authority. When did it change? What case can you cite?

Note that you imagined some odd interpretation of the “Jurors Bill of Rights” - yet the actual BOR dates to the same time when our judiciary was created. You’ve admitted that that judges used to cite the Bible all the time and claim that something has changed… you you’ve provided zero evidence (legal or rhetorical) to support this.

It’s clear that you would like a different standard - but the rest of us have to live in reality. You might consider joining us. There is no prohibition on publicly mentioning the Bible.

If I was a juror, I wouldn't be happy

Is that a reason for anyone else to care? Have we added a “make Smackdown2019 happy” amendment that I missed?

What if there were JEWS in the jury box?

Jewish law had the same hearsay standard as the one Paul relied on in the verse mentioned. And, of course, Paul was Jewish.
