- gozur88 10y agoDuring jury selection the judge will ask if you deliver a guilty verdict if the defendant is guilty. When you say no, you're off the jury. If you lie the judge will kick you off the jury when he figures out you're lying. He'll be angry, and he can fine or jail you if he wants to make a point.
- anonbanker 10y agoI'm not sure jurors can be jailed. Do you have precedent for this?
- gozur88 10y agoA judge can absolutely jail you for contempt of court. And he pretty much gets to decide what that means. It's unlikely you'd get jailed for this kind of thing, but it's not impossible.
- anonbanker 10y agoso, no precedent of a judge citing a juror for contempt, then?
- gozur88 10y agoIs Google really that hard to use? Did you think maybe you might look at the jury nullification wiki page?
