Re: "Jury nullification" : Jurors can acquit despite evidenc
I thought jury nullification was the other way around. If a jury convicted someone, but there wasn't really enough evidence to support the conviction a judge could nullify the jury's verdict and set aside the conviction.
Okay, I looked it up and I'm wrong, so what are the circumstances I'm thinking about? I have heard of jury nullification happening, but didn't know that's what it was called.
