Jury nullification isn't a "rule" that exists but is more the biproduct of a system. If your system of law has normal people judge you, they can't be punished for their decision, and you can't be tried multiple times for the same crime, then jury nullification exists. The jury simply chooses to ignore directions, makes the decision they think is best, and the court must uphold it
