Tell them the following:
"I am aware of the doctrine of jury nullification and I will inform my
fellow jurors of it. I will invoke it in cases where the defendant
has been charged with a victimless crime, i.e. drug-related offenses,
statutory rape, or other thoughtcrime, or when the law is otherwise
unjust or unreasonable."
