    And make absolutely sure that they don’t suspect you will be doing jury nullification. They won’t allow you to be on the jury if you do.

      ‘I believe in the letter of the law laid out by our true and just government. Also every social media post I ever made was just a shit post and I have matured as an adult last week.’

      Think that will work?

        They need to link to your social media posts to YOU. My Lemmy accounts are made with temporary emails. In fact, I stopped using reusable emails unless I absolutely have to. Also I was active on facebook (I only made a facebook account because of the pestering of my family many years ago. But I didn’t use it much until years later… and even then, just for a few years, and then I stopped. I stopped using it for a long ass time. I have yet to delete my account though). There was that dumb trend online of many people using their real identities, which I kinda fell for until I realized how colossally stupid it was.

        Basically if I had to conceal my lemmy posts (which is my main online social media) I just need to delete my cache and cookies and there is no way for them to find them on my phone or my other computers for them to search. I can deny ever having made any post and there is not a damn thing they can do about it. Even if they somehow want full records from ISP (and I use a VPN) I can just say I read everything and never posted.

        No. It won’t.

        If you say the words “jury nullification” before you’re selected, you’ll 100% be disqualified. If you say it after you’re selected… you’ll probably still be disqualified. There’s really no reason at all to say those words anywhere near an actual jury. But you can explain the idea, carefully, and maybe not too explicitly.

        A jury is the final arbiter of the law. If you decide that throwing a sandwich does not constitute assault, then it’s not assault.
