    To clarify: In jury nullification the verdict doesn’t get nullified. The law does. The scenario of jury nullification involves a guilty defendant going free due to the juror’s principles–and it’s immaterial whether those principles are founded in reason, truth, morality, sound jurisprudence, or sanity.
