If I get trialed for advocating jury nullification, the jury in my trial would learn about it and perhaps if I'm sympathetic enough they'd also nullify the law and let me free.

'Simply watching may prevent you from ever serving on a Jury'. Clicks play button
-
I watch this on an annual basis to ensure I'm not selected for jury duty

“Ever Heard of a little thing called jury nullification?” - Saul Goodman

"Watching may prevent you from ever serving on a jury" I see no downside
-
“So I understand that courts have their own n word”

My dad’s a lawyer and he’s a big believer in jury nullification, “the officer has the discretion to issue a warning or a ticket, the prosecutor can choose to prosecute or not, the jury (who is in the constitution) has the discretion to convict or not”
-
I remember hearing how, after duels were banned/criminalized in Britain’s “Canadian” colonies, jurors would refuse to convict someone for engaging in a duel, if they felt the duel had been conducted “fair and square”.

Thanks for getting me out of jury duty.

"simply watching may prevent you from ever serving on a jury" Oh noooo Don't tell meeeee That'd be the woooorst

I remember once my teacher was talking about a time he was in a jury for a burglary trial. A man allegedly robbed a jewellery story of 30K worth of diamonds and was facing court. The thing is, the entire jury team felt sorry for the man because he had a family and was struggling. The jury all decided to simply deem him not guilty out of pity and so the man was released. Teacher didn’t know about nullification. All he did was practice it.

I have always wanted to serve on a jury but, when asked exactly that question in voir dire, my response has always been that every reasonable person would circumvent the law if it went against their ethical/moral concerns, which is the foundation of the law.

"...but be warned; simply watching may prevent you from ever serving on a jury." 7 years later, can confirm. I have never been picked.
-
"Watching may prevent you from ever serving on a jury" Doubles video speed
-
Can't wait to get called for jury duty and say the phrase "jury nullification, bottom text"
-
"Be warned, simply watching may prevent you from ever being on a jury." 12 million people:
-
Jury: "We find the defendant, not guilty" Prosecutor: "But the defendant admitted guilt while in custody!" Jury: "Well we disagree with the defendant."

Yo i just wanted to sit down and watch some youtube and now i've potentially implicated myself in just 4 minutes
-
3:03 In any trial which requires the jury to be unanimous, a single determined juror can hang the jury, causing a mistrial. Prosecutors might not want to spend the resources it would take to bring the defendant to court again, especially if they believe that the result will be another hung jury or even an acquittal. A single nullifying juror could be highly effective, for better or worse.

Sooo I was called for Jury Duty in an affluent area of Southern California. Right before starting the Jury Questionaire, the judge explained Jury Nullification to us, and explained why we shouldn’t do it, and said “Now that you all know about it, you can’t use it as an excuse.” Word’s gotten out…
