All you have to do is vote to acquit. You do not have to explain or justify your vote to anyone. However, be prepared to be verbally abused by your fellow jurors.

I think that's the first answer to my question. Thanks. :)

Now, let me expand on that...what if I were to do that and did explain my reasons to other jurors - could I ever get in any trouble over that?

Indeed, coming out and saying that you choose not to convict because you disagree with the law may be grounds for mistrial.
