Seconding recommendations to be normal.

If you want to get on this jury, make sure to look like your average tax paying citizen who doesn't pay much attention matters of politics or current events. The law? You respect the hell out of the law! It should never be broken for any reason ever! And the law is whatever the prosecutor and defense think it is, that's jury selection. Lean toward appeasing the prosecutor, though. Once you're in, do some jury nullification if the defendant is a working class person accused of some bullshit like drug possession or petty theft

If you don't want to get on this jury, then you have strong opinions about jury nullification. You believe it is your civic duty to bypass immoral laws as a member of the jury, and you will do it. They'll tell you that if the evidence proves without a shadow of a doubt that the defendant committed the crime, then you legally must vote to convict. That's a load of shit, it's your right to vote however you want for whatever reason you want, let them know this!

Thank you. I'm just happy to help fulfill my civic duty and be part of the great American project! You say its my God given right to vote freely? I stand for the flag and kneel the the cross.

They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’"He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ Matthew 25:44-46
