Don't pull it, let the jurors die. It'll justify my "not-guilty" defense. "I did not take any action for the previous trolley that killed people, and I did not take action on this trolley either. I touched nothing, yet people still died." I don't know what happens after that, maybe we get new jurors and I have the judge as a witness; or maybe the judge makes a decision.

But the fact that you are on trial for murder implies that you did take action in the first trolley problem, doing nothing would be negligent manslaughter at best.

Well, it’s a trial though. My defense is “I didn’t do fucking shit!” If I don’t pull the lever, and other people watch me not pull the lever, are they not guilty of negligent manslaughter as well?
