Are you sure that's what the judges said? Judges do sometimes give instructions that are directly about jury nullification, but a lot of things that indirectly sound like they could be about nullification really aren't. Remember that jury nullification, if you support it, is a very narrow exception to the general principle that juries are deciding facts rather than law. It would be an obvious miscarriage of justice if a juror tried to "nullify" the reasonable doubt standard because they think the defendant is guilty, or "nullify" some valid defense to the crime because they don't think the legislature should have included it.
