    Just to be clear, one of the standard questions to ask a potential jury is “you must be able to render a verdict solely on the evidence presented at the trial and in the context of the law as I will give it to you in my instructions, disregarding any other ideas, notions, or beliefs about the law. Are you able to do this?”

    If you know about jury nullification, with the intent of using it, then you need to lie under oath to get past this question.

    The question was taken from the New Mexico US courts

      Are you able to do this?

      Ahead of time, I could answer truthfully that I am able. I don’t have to say “but when the time comes, I may choose not to for any reason”
