“Jury nullification was in order.”

I wonder if it would be possible to set up a system to educate potential jurors in jury nullification.

Even the jurors who convicted him seem to have been looking for a reason to acquit Aitken. But the judge gave them little choice. The jurors had the power and the choice, they just did not know it, and were lied to by the judge. Jury nullification used to be taught in every civics class.
