     @4d3fect and @LRRRonEarth's point is that there's no "this is a bad prosecution and the prosecutor should feel shame for bringing it" line to check on the jury verdict form. All they have to choose from is "guilty" or "not guilty". Jury nullification is when they choose not guilty because they reject the prosecution, not because they don't believe the defendant did what they're accused of.

     @LRRRonEarth I thought it was simply a not guilty verdict, not strictly a jury nullification?

     @4d3fect

     Ooc: that's what jury nullification looks like, though.

     Ooc: the best part is that he was literally dead-to-rights guilty of everything. They caught him on camera, he confessed. This was straight up jury nullification. And I love that for us as a people.
