My last jury duty experience included the judge warning us ahead of time about nullification and letter of the law, etc., and no way did we have the right to do that - I just thought to myself, “KMA, your honor.” The case was plea bargained, of course.

You just have to be careful, in deliberations, to never mention nullification (otherwise the judge will just have you tossed from the jury, an alternate juror installed, and you brought up for contempt). Just stick with, "I'm not convinced he's guilty".

Yeah, dishonesty and blatant violation of your sacred oath is always gonna be a winner.
