sat on Federal case jury in DC and was great experience. BUT

You're among a group FROM WHICH jurors for trial(s) will be selected, so I'd bring food and something(s) to read, as you may be hanging around with nothing to do for hours. Bring your open mind, enjoy meeting people and learning about stuff. (and when possible, talking about what an idiot cucc is!!!)

Judge should notice if 'prosecution acting egregiously,' but that's not grounds for nullification, that would be grounds for not supporting prosecution's position IF they haven't made their case. Some stuff here, not particularly useful, imo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jury_instructions
