I think what I'm more specifically trying to determine is;

I know you can plead 'guilty' and throw yourself on the mercy of the court .. but can you plead 'not guilty' and do the same ?

I think I need to study more closely the ruling(s) of jury nullification.

Does a guilty guy have a lawyer that admits the guy is guilty but pleads for the jury to throw it out ? (synopsizing here .. )

Or do juries take it on their own to determine the charge is bogus/frivolous ?

It’s completely in the hands of the jury. The judicial system has tried to bury jury nullification. I’m sure any defendant trying to raise the issue would suffer the wrath of the court. The question is would the judge declare a mistrial if any attempt was made to enlighten a jury?

Prosecutors try to weed out anyone educated about jury nullification.
