During court, when something happens and the judge tells the jury to ‘forget that’ or ‘not include that,’ if the jury heard it, how could I, as someone on the jury, possibly just ignore what I heard? Whether the evidence is admissible or not.

Just FYI, in statesia a juror has the right to cast their vote for whatever reason they deem. It can be as petty as not liking the defendant’s shoes. You can vote not guilty because you think the law is stupid or the charges were brought improperly (this is called jury nullification). Just, judges don’t like when you do that, so don’t tell when you’re doing jury nullification. Just vote.
