try to avoid perjuring yourself when they do jury selection:

>Take the questions literally. Answer as briefly and generally as you truthfully can.
>
>Do you have any political, religious, or philosophical beliefs that might prevent you from delivering a verdict based on the facts? (Not at all. I want to decide a fair and just outcome.)
>
>How do you feel about people accused of breaking the law in question? (They deserve fair trials, like anyone accused of a crime.)
>
>If it is proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed the crime, can you set your opinions aside and vote guilty? (Yes, I can.) As trial lawyer and jury nullification expert Clay Conrad notes in response to this question, of course you can. You can also shove your arm down a garbage disposal! That does not mean you are committed to doing so.

>The goal is to present an open mind that is concerned with fairness and the facts.

I am sorry to hear that you are so misinformed. You need to either read Clay Conrad's authoritative work on jury nullification or listen to this interview with him.

No, I am not a sovereign citizen. My political views are entirely irrelevant here and to attempt to confuse the historical fact that is jury nullification with the fact that you dislike my political views (you don't actually know what they are) is a dirty tactic.

What are my political views? I'm a left libertarian. If you think that's "batshit crazy," that's your problem. I could not actually care less.
