Unless the jury is part of the mob. The jury is, after all, drawn from the same pool as those who keep electing the officials you want them to discipline thru jury nullification.

It is well-known that juries skew towards the less intelligent and less educated. Juries are, after all, composed of those who aren’t smart or connected enough to get out of jury duty.

If the jury is part of the mob, and the government is part of the mob, then if the jury convicts (agreeing with the mob and government) it will NOT be nullification, it will be railroading or lynching.
