    Counterpoint: Saying you won’t do jury nullification only to later do jury nullification is an impossible crime to prove as perjury because the prosecution can’t read your mind well enough to determine you knew what jury nullification even was at the time you promised no knowledge of it.

      Yeah as long as nobody does the dumb thing of asking for a definition, you can always say that you thought it meant ‘changing the jury’s verdict’. But never be the one to bring it up or mention it, it will immediately disqualify you from both the defense and the prosecution because then you are generally working outside their comfort zone.
