Geesh, Robroy is right, and you’re right too, but not that he was wrong. A coin flip is a mistrial. Common sense.

It’s not due process to decide to convict someone because you don’t like his hairstyle. While there is some utility to the concept of jury nullification—and I emphasize some—this notion that juries can do as they please subverts the concept of due process upon which our criminal justice system is based.
