''Sparf v. United States'', 156 U.S. 51 (1895),〔(156 U.S. 51 ) Full text of the opinion courtesy of Findlaw.com.〕 also known as Sparf and Hansen v. United States〔("Sparf and Hansen v. United States 156 U.S. 51 (1895)" )"Justia U.S. Supreme Court"〕 was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that federal judges were not required to inform jurors of their inherent ability to judge the law in a case. The decision was rendered by a five to four judge margin, with two dissenting opinions. The case distinguished itself from earlier precedent in ''Georgia v. Brailsford (1794)'' mandating that jurors be informed by the court of their right to judge the case's facts and law (jury nullification). ==Background== On the night of January 13, 1884, on a voyage to Tahiti the second mate of the ship the Hesper, was found to be missing. The man's name was Fitzgerald. It was believed that he had been killed and his body thrown overboard. The Hesper's Captain Sodergren suspected three crew members, men by the name of St. Clair, Hansen, and Sparf, of being participants in the murder. Cpt. Sodergren kept the three suspects in holding until they arrived in Tahiti, where they were taken ashore by the United States consul at that island and subsequently sent, with others, to San Francisco, on the vessel Tropic Bird.〔("U.S. Supreme Court SPARF v. U S" )"Findlaw"〕
