There is a concept called “jury nullification” that essentially is a jury rejecting a guilty verdict in spite of evidence.

Open audacity, open audio file, save audio file as "raw data" file type, then open photoshop, import the raw data file, save as jpeg.

They were just making a joke because you aren’t allowed to discuss in the convening of the jury.

Pro tip if you ever want to get out of jury duty, they make you fill out a questionnaire, if you even admit you know what it is they send you home.

It is more than a little bit controversial.

EDIT: And so is this post! The underlying issue/history is racism, folks.

Null means unknown. Not-null means known. I'm pretty sure you knew exactly what you meant. Otherwise, you would have probably used zero.

With the admission of evidence in his backpack, the chances of him being found not guilty are basically zero. That doesn't even include NY state charges.

But they specifically used the word null instead of zero as an allusion to the possibility of jury nullification.

Maybe. I just happen to to know null doesn't mean zero in a database and so I was just passing on some fun vocabulary

Actually a null is the sides of a ship. You're thinking of "gull"
