Definition :

Jury nullification, means 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, Black's Law Dictionary, 7th Edn., p. 862.
