    You know they’ll disqualify anyone who might even hint at knowledge of jury nullification from the jury pool. They’ll be selected on their ability to convict solely.

        Now you’re asking them to commit perjury - which is also bad. (In case anyone reads this and decides to try their best poker face)

          Only if they get caught and punished for it. Laws exist to discourage bad behavior, which lying in service of justice isn’t, so in this case breaking the law is the morally correct thing to do.

          Like shooting a billionaire or the CEO of a predatory corporation.

            Sure, whatever, but lying under oath during the jury selection process is a crime called perjury. Morale correctness aside, I’m just trying to keep folks out of jail my dude.
