      Anyone who donated or expressed positive opinion about Mangione won’t be able to be a jury, so don’t have to worry about that.

      Thought, it’s interesting that it is supposedly illegal to mention jury nullification in court, but the whole reason we have jury is so this outcome is possible.

        It’s not illegal to mention jury nullification, and even a prospective juror talking about it won’t necessarily get them sent home.

          I saw somewhere saying that judge could punish person for mentioning it to other jurors, but when I search for it I see saying that it would just end up with being removed, so I guess you’re right
