Yeah, I understand. Directions by the judge, etc. ....there still is such a thing as jury nullification, regardless of what a judge, or a misapplied law for that matter, says.
If the judge doesn’t like it (their nullification) he can in many cases overrule the verdict and supply his own.
AFAIK, the judge deciding a verdict can only work this way:
If the jury finds the accused guilty, the Judge can override that and declare them not guilty.
But if a jury finds them not guilty, set, match, game over. That’s the whole point of the jury, so that it’s not some big wig high paid snob deciding cases.
