Even better if the jurors leak and we can contact them directly

Only if there's no intimidation, and simply education.

Of course not intimidating. Only reassuring the jurors that they understand that they can refuse to convict for any reason, including just because they feel like it, even if the evidence is overwhelming

Jurors can be excused by the judge if there is evidence that they are either being coerced or have an alternative agenda. But that's really rare.
