If you want to get out of serving on a jury, just mention “jury nullification” when you show up!!

Last time I got bumped during voir dire for that. I didn't go out of my way to mention it, but one of the attorneys asked if anyone had heard of jury nullification. I was the only one to raise my hand. He then asked what I knew about it and I gave a detailed enough explanation that he said that maybe I was on the wrong side of the jury rail. I'm almost surprised that I didn't spoil the entire jury pool by telling that the people have the right to judge both the law and the facts.
