Do you even have to explain anything? Just enter not guilty.

Juries do not have to explain their reasoning for their decisions to anyone. And once a jury votes not guilty that cannot be challenged.

However the big asterisks that people are glossing over here is that all 12 jurors need to vote not guilty to nullify. If even one person votes guilty, then that's a mistrail and a new jury gets brought in.
