> And the questions the prosecution asks are often framed like "Is there any reason you would fundamentally be unable to return a 'guilty' verdict in this case?" or "is X a reason you would not be able to return a 'guilty' verdict?" etc. In my case it was a civil trial and he (the plaintiff's attorney) asked everyone to raise their hands if they thought they could follow the instructions of the court. I kept my hand down. He told me to raise my hand. I told him I had some opinions on jury nullification. He looked at the judge. The judge didn't say anything. He then asked me what my opinions were. I said what I thought the definition was for "jury nullification", and that ultimately I have no problems disregarding the instructions of the court. I was then, most immediately, dismissed from jury duty. The first person out of that room. It was very nerve wrecking having to do that (being in the court room for the first time, and all that). But worth it. *The case was something about the "fair value" of someone's property that was taken by the state (and DOT) due to road construction ("eminent domain" maybe).
