I don't see them letting it come to that. They'll pick jury members of which they are 100% sure they won't do jury nullification.

Remember, the whole system is behind getting him charged.

Well the whole system only gets to pick half the jury

Do you really think there's no way for the combined power of the state & capital to influence jury selection? That feels like a very naive take.

The defense has the right to pick half the jury - and defense lawyers are usually very serious about defending their clients and getting the best possible outcome. They’re going to pick the most favorable jurists they can.

IMO he got over charged and they state is gonna learn the hard way that their strategy of making an example of him will backfire.

Please see my reply to the other comment - you're assuming the pool of jurors contains enough people that would consider nullification. As far as I'm aware, the defense has no influence on this pool itself. So how do you know that the jurors the defense can choose from are actually randomly selected?

It's pretty much a given that the state knows your opinion on jury nullification if you've ever publicly posted about it. Hell, based on the Snowden leaks there's a good chance they know it if you've ever mentioned it over e.g. the telephone. How can you be sure that this knowledge isn't used to bias the jury pool?

I saw your other comment after I made this one. You bring up valid points. I think we should throw the whole country out and start over personally.
