People should be aware of this very powerful tool that can be exercised in court. Understanding Jury Nullification .

Jury nullification occurs when a jury returns a not guilty verdict in a criminal case where the jury believes that the defendant has, beyond a reasonable doubt, committed a crime. In other words, the jury believes that the defendant has broken the law, but still decides not to convict. https://www.forbes.com/advisor/legal/criminal-defense/jury-nullification/
