I actually have to call in for jury duty next week. I don't know anything about the case I might be on, but I definitely know how I will be voting if there is any diversity involved.
If you even hint that you think this way, you’ll be excluded from selection.
If you even whisper the word “nullification” you might be held in contempt (a man was jailed for talking about nullification outside a courthouse)
If selected for the jury, if you chat with other jurors and they pick up this vibe from you, you’ll be removed from the jury (this is why they always have alternates)
Once deliberations start, you can vote “not guilty” but the other jurors will apply intense peer pressure to you. You shouldn’t give them any explanation for your decision. If you do, they’ll report it to the judge and you may be accused of lying during selection and arrested.
They’ll all hate you and say things like “come on! You’re the only hold out! Vote guilty so that we can all go home!” This will likely be one of the hardest things you have to do in your life.
And to be clear, if the guy is guilty beyond reasonable doubt and the law is just, you should vote guilty. It’s immoral to do otherwise - you know that in your heart. Nullification is for situations where the law is unjust … just don’t be an idiot and say it out loud.

Yeah, just say you don't believe it and refuse to elaborate.
"If you all vote Not Guilty, we can ALSO all go home. I'm just looking at the case presented, but you seem focused on things outside the case right now. Case looks not guilty to me, and I won't risk condemning someone not yet beyond reasonable doubt, because you want to go get a Starbucks. Take this seriously! It's not beyond reasonable doubt."
A law is only just if it is applied equally. If the defendant is white, and the "victim" isn't, I will apply the OJ Simpson standard for "beyond reasonable doubt". If the victim is white and the defendant isn't, I will be using using the Derek Chauvin standard.
This is my internal reasoning only obviously. I'm not an idiot, so I won't be bragging about my intentions. I suspect they will strike me before I even get a chance anyway, since lawyers don't like putting engineers on the jury. We are too likely to see through their bullshit.

The marxists engage in jury intimidation. Remember their faces.

Not called in today. Maybe tomorrow.
