No problem at all. I simply make my case to the jury and ask them what they would have done.

It’s like a case I had in law school. Man was cited for 115 in a 55 zone. Good car, empty open road. We established he was taking wife, who was in labor, to the delivery room at hospital.

State said “There are no exceptions.”

I argued “any port in a storm” but made the most points by asking the jury members, with their wife screaming in labor in the seat next to them, what would they have done?

Got a NG in 7 minutes.

OK; the whole point of jury nullification is a recognition that under unusual conditions a specific flouting of the law may be excusable.

That is not a reason to abandon upholding the rule of law as a general policy.
