- vore 4y agoJury nullification is not a rule, it’s a quirk. Jurors can’t and shouldn’t be punished for their verdicts. Therefore, a jury can render a binding verdict that contravenes the law. Talking about it in court WILL get you held in contempt of court, because you are openly declaring an intent to contravene the law.
