      You know they’ll disqualify anyone who might even hint at knowledge of jury nullification from the jury pool. They’ll be selected on their ability to convict solely.

          Now you’re asking them to commit perjury - which is also bad. (In case anyone reads this and decides to try their best poker face)

            Only if they specifically ask “do you know about jury nullification?”

              No, they usually ask something like “Do you have any personal beliefs that would prevent you from returning a guilty verdict involved with this type of crime?” - seriously yall, this shit isn’t hard to look up and is usually posted right alongside explanations for what jury nullification is. Frankly, I doubt anyone reading this is rich enough to pull the “you didn’t specifically ask about jury nullification therefore I technically did not commit perjury”-card.

            Only if they get caught and punished for it. Laws exist to discourage bad behavior, which lying in service of justice isn’t, so in this case breaking the law is the morally correct thing to do.

            Like shooting a billionaire or the CEO of a predatory corporation.
