    There is no such thing as jury nullification as a court decision though. Jury nullification is the Jury agreeing that they didn’t see nothing. If they say he did it but they aren’t convicting that may very well be grounds for a mistrial. I suspect that the prosecution will argue that it was a mistrial regardless of whether the Jury nullifies or genuinely is unconvinced beyond a reasonable doubt.
