What is the 'power to nullify'?

Iloilo Jones (Executive Director of Fully Informed Jury Association) gives expert video advice on: What is the 'power to nullify'?; Is jury nullification possible in all cases?; If I have questions or concerns about the trial, how do I talk to the judge? and more...

It applies to any time you serve on a jury and you think that there is a bad law or even if it's a good law and it's misapplied. You must render a verdict based on conscious. That's why we have juries, because we're humans with a conscious. So if you think that the law is a bad law or that it's misapplied, you have the authority and the duty and the obligation to your fellow humans to nullify or veto that bad law. Hold that law. That law doesn't mean anything to you in this instance. That's what nullification is all about.
