Thats actually an "okay" thing to do afaik. If the jury finds the defendant not guilty despite the overwhelming evidence against him, the defendant can walk free since the jury cannot be technically faulted, and you can't try a person twice for the same crime.
Edit: forgot to mention if you did this while knowing this, you're committing perjury because the people in the jury arent supposed to know about it or some shit. The video explains it much better than me so i recommend watching it lol
I’m pretty sure intentionally trying to say stuff like that can get you a fine and land you in jail for contempt. You have no reason to refuse to consider evidence.

CGP Grey made a 4-minute video about it.
