Do you think that if a government made a law criminalizing having brown skin that a jury has a moral imperative to find brown people guilty?

I think the point of a jury is to apply justice to the legal system, and in fact their moral imperative is to acquit people who face unjust applications of the law or are victims of government oppression.
