Jury nullification has a long history and a proper role.

Properly used, nullification can be used to overturn unjust laws, because the jury decides that violation of that law should not be regarded as a crime deserving punishment.

In this case, those jurors declared that a black man murdering a white woman should not be punished. The white community needs to take note of what lives among them.
