While I certainly wouldn't lie if asked directly, I'm not going to volunteer that I approve of jury nullification.

So you're not going to honest with the court--you're going to pretend that you're serious about your jury duty, but your real agenda is jury nullification. Isn't that about right?

[Doctor Stochastic]

The formal purpose of the trial is to determine if the Prosecution can prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt without violating the rules (constitutional, statutory, evidential, etc.) Jury nullification is independent of the above.

But a lie of omission suits you just fine?

You're asking the wrong questions. What you should be asking is: is there air conditioning/heating in the main jury room or courtroom? Is there a workable bathroom? Are there enough seats for the 3,000 people called on the first day of jury duty? Once you get stuck on a jury, can you be assured that the foreman speaks English and believes in the 5th amendment? Will the judge threaten you with contempt if you giggle at a funny made by the defense counsel? And my favorite: if you deliberate on a Friday, will the judge sequester you around 12 o'clock in the afternoon (so he can get in a round of golf) while you and your fellow jurors spend the weekend at a Holiday Inn and are forced to eat dinner at the Pig 'N Whistle. All of this has happened to me over the last twenty five years - jury nullification never came up.
