Jury nullification was designed so jurors could judge the law as well as the facts. Is the law against murder just? Clearly it is. Back in the days of slavery many Northern juries refused to convict defendants charged with violating the Fugitive Slave Act as it was clearly an unjust law.
This isn’t jury nullification. It’s racial vengeance. Big difference.
