No, it is illegal in New Jersey. The Jersey law stems from a particularly
viscious murder case in the late 80s. The State asked for the death penalty and
one juror made up his mind ahead of time that he was not going to vote to
convict because he had strong feelings about the death penalty. That resulted in
a hung jury and a retrial. The State could not ask for the death penalty at the
second trial (that would be double jeopardy).

The legislature passed a law shortly thereafter. Try it again in New Jersey, and
you will spend a few years in prison. You will be warned about this during jury
selection.
