Should I Be Normal™ in the chance it would let me nullify an unjust conviction, or simply deliver a communist diatribe during the selection process

Selection is like an hour, the jury's deliberation takes days, besides the lifelong impact to the defendant. If you speak your mind during selection, everyone involved will forget you quickly
That depends on the case. Some cases will be over before lunchtime today. Now if you try to nullify chances are they will force you to deliberate until lunch tomorrow.
It would take longer than that to get the whole jury on board to nullify or agree not guilty, and if you can't, a hung jury wouldn't be declared until days later
The trial I was on I hung the jury and the total time from the start of the trial to declaring the jury hung was a day and a half.
