I believe that as the law is seen as more unfair with all the prosecutions of conservatives in many districts, jury nullification will increase just as it did in racist districts. If I were ever put on a jury that involved legal double jeopardy where the feds get a crack at you after acquittal in a state court I would vote to acquit on principle.
Phony double jeopardy excuses are laughable. Either being tried for the same crime is unconstitutional or it's not. Is being re-tried double jeopardy? Apparently not. So since the law is generally stacked against the defendant (the human ham sandwich) the jury (people) have/has to be able to acquit.
I would also vote to acquit if the person didn't get a speedy trial like many of the J6 people. I would also vote to acquit in any speech case. So when I'm called in early November to my county court for jury duty I'm not sure I'll be picked - but you never know.
It was/is disgraceful that dishonest holders of law degrees moved to disbar lawyers who worked with Trump and other conservatives.
Strangely, I've largely stopped *listening* to podcasts, and now find myself *watching* podcasts that have visuals. The one activity, driving long distances, where I really enjoyed listening, just doesn't give me enough time to keep up with all the interesting things to which I used to subscribe. I can read transcripts 10x the pace of speech, so I've lost interest in non-video content. *shrug*.
If you resume audio podcasting, I will certainly read the transcripts. (:
I enjoyed the Glenn and Helen Show and I would like it if you started podcasting again.

Where is the ai-auto generated podcast to text version?
We need jury nullification to check bad laws, and bad persecution & prosecution of reasonable laws.
In both cases, it's better to find "not guilty" (of an injustice worthy of punishment).
