I googled a little after yours and the sibling comment. Seems it's been much more actively used in the US than the UK. Fascinating that US law refers all the way back to a 1670 English case[1], even though there's no legal binding. Were I not old enough to remember the Falklands case I doubt I'd ever have heard of it here in the UK. There was no reference to it in the information sent when I was called for jury duty, or any mention by the judges. The Falklands case, the documents it brought to light, and the implications were in the media regularly for weeks afterwards, possibly months, so it was impossible to miss. I can't remember a more recent case (though I'm sure there must have been). All Google turfs up for the UK recently is a couple of media articles expressing the belief it should be more widely known. http://courts.uslegal.com/jury-system/jury-instructions-and-their-purpose/jury-nullification/ http://courts.uslegal.com/jury-system/jury-instructions-and-...
