You're not. If you advance jury nullification ideas within the jury room, you'll be replaced by an alternate (if available, obviously the size of the trial will impact that). Now, there might be different laws in different states on the matter, but the ones I'm familiar with allow removal.

Best thing to do is vote not guilty (assuming the case and charge allow it), and just say you're not convinced past a reasonable doubt.

You can't mention that you know about it so they pick you, obviously.

I guess you can also lie your ass off to get in, but if you go hard on that the defense is likely to remove you from consideration instead.

They typically won't ask if you support or have heard of jury nullification during voir dire. They will leave that to the "is there any reason you feel you can't bring a verdict in accordance with the law and judge's instructions?" question.

Jury nullification isn't itself illegal, so you can honestly answer "No".

Yea they avoid mentioning it. My point was that you can't seem as anything but a blank slate doofus to get accepted into a jury.

Completely correct.
