    Just dropping by to make sure people get out there and speak to the less online folk of Pennsylvania and New York about your legitimate and reasonable doubts that Luigi is the guy as well informing about the horrors US health insurers conduct on a daily basis and the concept of jury nullification because it will be really interesting.

      You have to be very particular if you’re going to do that.

      Jury nullification is not allowed. Voting not guilty because you have reasonable doubt is always allowed. You don’t have to explain why you have reasonable doubt.

      The fact that those happen to be jury nullification is unfortunate for those who would like to disallow it.

      If you say “nullification”, you can likely be removed from the jury. If you say you believe they did it, but you’re going to vote not guilty anyway, you might be removed. If you just insist you have reasonable doubt, and insist that decision is yours to make, you can’t be removed.
