Have you ever been involved in a case where the jury clearly exercised Jury Nullification?
How do you personally feel about Jury Nullification?
Even if prohibited from mentioning Nullification directly (as is the case in many courts, as I understand it) have you ever tried to subtly hint to the jury that they can, indeed, return a finding based on their own moral beliefs about what is equitable, and not a strict adherence to the law as written?
Do you often talk to jurors after a trial, to see what they were thinking and what influenced their decision one way or the other? If so, what's the most surprising thing you've found out from doing that?
