Juries decide whether defendants are guilty of the charges against them. They do not decide whether the law ought to apply. If you don't understand the difference then you're right... I'm not going to be able to put an argument before you that you'll be able to comprehend.
It's patently obvious to everyone that a fair and just system of laws needs to apply equally to everyone, even in cases where we dislike the victim.
That's not what equally means. The same law needs to be applied to everyone. Making exceptions creates inequality.
If that is Luigi's legal defense then the jury needs to weigh the evidence of that claim and if supported of course they would return a not-guilty verdict. That's not jury nullification.
This is, quite obviously, a corruption of the legal process. If jury nullification is an intended feature of the legal process then why aren't jurors instructed to find the defendant guilty, not-guilty, or exempt? Why don't defense attorneys tell jury's that the application of the law in this case is unjust and therefore they should find the defendant not guilty?
Your fixation with DeSiGnInG RoBuSt sYsTeMs is absurd. It doesn't support your position in any way. I could just as well say that you obviously don't have a job that requires much thought or requires you to consider complex problems with unquantifiable ethical aspects.
You thinking about this for a long time also does not support your position in any way. People can believe in all sorts of nonsense their entire lives. The inflexibility and inability to support your position is a pretty good indicator that you haven't really thought about this but merely like how the concept feels.
