The Texas constitution says that nobody that is “morally or ethically impaired” may serve on a jury. When called for jury duty in Denton county years ago the judge stated that and then said he would excuse anyone from jury duty who was willing to stand up and say why they were morally or ethically impaired. One man stood up and said he was morally impaired because he was in favor of jury nullification. The judge excused him.

Unfortunately I moved to New Jersey before I could try that trick

The mere mention of jury nullification will get you out of jury duty.

Not that I’ve tried, I consider it a serious responsibility.
