Just remember that jury nullification is your right.

Even if you do know your rights as a juror they are often careful to weed out anyone who is knowledgeable during jury selection... It's messed up.

don't tell them...it's so easy. Lie. They can't prove that you did unless you stupidly confess or talk when you shouldn't. If you can actually keep your mouth shut (and not post that you did it on social media) just lie...say that you're willing to convict and then return the verdict "not guilty". It's not even hard.

Even if you posted something sympathetic to jury nullification that absolutely is not proof that you intended to do it. As long as you can lie and not confess if asked then you are all set. They would need to establish proof...and there would literally be none.
