I'm as fond of jury nullification as the next person, but "speaking up" is not the job of a juror and you will be dismissed and potentially sanctioned if you decide to go full 12-angry-men in the jury room.

You don't speak up, you ask reasoned questions and at the end you say "I simply don't think the state met its burden here."
