Is libertarianism incompatible with Democracy?

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

I was always of the opinion that it was the opinion of your Judges who made the law.

In fact just reading Wiki there and it claims murder is not illegal by statute but by precedent, does that mean if enough judges started to throw cases out for murder the precedent would be set for murder to be legal???? how is that a sensible system to have

It is a single precident, not weight of precident. You would have to take it to the Supreme Court of the Law Lords (sounded so much better when it was "House of Lords", didn't it?)

I think the Offences Against the Person Act of 1861 pretty much covered it.

The Act only covers non-lethal offences.
