No Nullification is not a mistrial... the defendant can be retried. The defendant is only let free and nullified of conviction if found not guilty by the jury despite the letter of the law. A hung jury is not nullification. Your opinion is highly blurred into what you perceive as fact.

I guess you have a different definition than I do. You state your opinion as fact. It's not, you perceive it to be.
