    Yeah but here’s the thing, if they can prove you knowingly steered the jury towards nullification post selection they’ll prosecute you for perjury because the screening questions basically total up to “Would you nullify a guilty verdict? Yes or No?”, so doing it on purpose and being too obvious about it can get you put in front of your own jury.

      Which is why you stick to the facts. Dispute them.

      Testimony? Witness is lying.

      Forensics? You think it is pseudoscience.

      Footage? Photoshop, easy to do.

      Confession? Given under duress.

      It isn’t that hard to be a cynic. Just spend some time on the internet.
