They asked when I went. They didn't use the words "jury nullification" but they asked if anyone in the room would be unwilling to convict if they were convinced someone violated a law that they didn't agree should be a law (giving a stupid example of "making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich").
Maybe. It was particularly weird because the case didn't even involve drugs or anything, it was a violent crime, with a victim testifying. Not something you'd expect people to go "yeah okay he did it but that shouldn't be a crime."

The more trivial a thing you build an example out of the more demonic it actually is to think about.

Interesting. Wonder if your court had had "problems" with nullification before?
