I'm happier with this outcome now.

You're just a closet "situational morality" liberal. No objective, consistent law for you! No sir! Just pick 12 random people and declare the outcome to be "Justice"!

Pffft.

I'll stick with the Constitution and the rule of law, personally.

If I were a judge and saw that a jury had blatantly ignored the law, I'd find them all in contempt and throw them in jail.

This judge saw the opposite. Perhaps because he was there and you were not?

Uhhh - didn’t the Constitution guarantee a trial by jury?

And, I am sure SCOTUS has ruled that jury nullification is Constitutional.

I always find it refreshing when a jury exercises its right to nullification.
