They still do; they just really, really hate it.
They are trying to end it, but once they do the game's up: the authority to decide guilt includes the power to say 'not guilty.'

If jury nullification is voided, then juries become nothing but a rubber stamp for the State. Of course, not to say it won't happen considering how the Obama Regime treats the Constitution like so much Charmin.
