For this law juries don't need to interpret the law, merely deciding whether the clauses of the law have been met or not is enough. Saying that they don't think the plaintiff or prosecution met the burden of proof is fine.
In the US jury nullification is also a right. If the jury thinks that the law is too draconian for the facts of the case they can vote to acquit.
