What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe House Oversight Committee asked two DC activist groups on Tuesday for documents about their jury nullification trainings, and it says the sessions may undermine impartial juries.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWith me is intention strategist Solveig Amadi. Is this a legal problem?
Solveig AmadiVera, I'd call it a consciousness alignment issue.
Solveig AmadiA juror who sets a clear intention walks in already knowing what the room wants. Nobody should call that training.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBut the committee says teaching jurors to ignore the law is the problem. Are you telling me a juror's intention outranks the judge's instructions?
Solveig AmadiI'm saying a verdict is a feeling the twelve of them grow together. Listen. That's a singing bowl.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA bowl.
Solveig AmadiIt clears the room's energy before the foreperson speaks.
Solveig AmadiI'd never tell anyone how to vote, I only tell them how to breathe while they do it.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe committee wants documents, Solveig. So let me ask you plainly: have you ever coached a juror on what to do with their verdict?
Solveig AmadiCoached is a heavy word. I hold space for people on the way to their, verdict, and I bill that as breathwork, quarterly.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorQuarterly. So you do have clients, and you billed them, and the clients are jurors.
Solveig AmadiProspective jurors, which is everybody. I'd say the committee's document request is really just a very formal enrollment form, and I'm thrilled for them.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe committee is asking for paperwork, not a retreat. Although the island does look lovely this morning. What does the package cost?
Solveig AmadiIt's, four thousand dollars a head, and the verdict is complimentary.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI'm sure the committee will want that in writing.
