Jury Nullification Definition

jury nullification definition – jury nullification where a jury deliberately rejects the evidence or refuses to apply the law either because the jury wants to send a message about a social issue or because the result dictated by the law is against the jury’s sense of justice or morality. Jury nullification might occur, for instance, where a husband avenges the murder of his wife by killing the attacker.
