He will not have to. The charges will be dropped. The idea behind arresting him was to keep jurors from getting the information. There must be a specific trial under way that they do not want the jurists to know about nullification. Many trials are over charges that are complete bullshit and the prosecution has to convince jurors to convict no matter how they feel. Jurors are forced to listen to orientation by prosecutors where they are told the police are right and they should convict based on what the prosecutor says in court. So there must be a case in progress that the prosecutors are worried about. They can have somebody arrested to get them out of the picture and then drop the charges without penalty.
