Earlier in the video he stated that the jurors cannot be punished for their decision, this applies if the outcome results in perjury.
We aren't talking about the decision. We are talking about voir dire. You certainly can be charged and convicted of perjury if you lie during voir dire.
But again: it is not a lie to remember that the 6th Amendment right to a trial by jury of peers (as opposed to professional jurists) is constitutional law. It supersedes any legislated law, or any directive provided by any court. I hold no beliefs that might prevent me from making a decision strictly in accordance with the law.
Wait, that isn’t just a term from “My Cousin Vinny”‽
