A cold-blooded murder has become, to many, an opportunity to vent.

        Maybe. Seems he has a few slip ups and they seem to have several leads. I think he’ll end up caught or end up dead. If caught, everyone in that city will need to remember jury nullification.

          They could also just find him innocent. For example, if he is charged with premeditated murder, the jury could say they did not think the murder was premeditated and that he is innocent.

          They could say that they don’t think the defendant is the person who did the crime and that he is innocent.

              I thought jury nullification was a third verdict that is not guilt or innocent.

                Jury nullification refers to a jury’s knowing and deliberate rejection of the evidence or refusal to apply the law either because the jury wants to send a message about some social issue that is larger than the case itself, or because the result dictated by law is contrary to the jury’s sense of justice, morality, or fairness.

                It’s a bit more complex and broad than that.

                Jury nullification is exercised by juries finding defendants not guilty

      “We find the defendant innocent”

      Or simply, “Oh this is the shooter? No he isn’t.”

        Don’t let the selectors know you know about Jury Nullification.
