Sitting on a jury once was all it took for me to be scared to death of ever going to trial. I don't really want to be judged by the few hand picked people that weren't able to get out of jury duty. In the case I was on the jury most the other jurors wanted so badly to just convict this guy so that they could go home. Ugh.

Thats why you (the defendant) start on about Jury Nullification as early as possible after voir dire.
