During jury selection, they can't ask you directly about jury nullification but they'll ask something like "do you have any beliefs that will cause you to decide this case except solely on the evidenc/according to the law." If you believe in jury nullification, the answer is technically "yes" (good way to get out of jury duty). You're also supposed to follow the judge's jury instructions after the arguments.
But no one else is in that room, deliberations are private. And once the jury has rendered their verdict or whatever it's called, the matter is decided. No double jeopardy, no review.
the law allows for jury nullification so you can say "no" and be honest checkmate atheists
