I still think this would be a bad case for jury nullification. Too much attention, too easily sent to the supreme court, court is too packed with clowns to do anything other than remove the power of jury nullification for the benefit of their wealthy owners.
Who knows though, maybe that would get people to actually decide enough is enough, i doubt it though.
As the other comment says, jury nullification isn’t a thing that can easily be removed. The jury doesn’t just claim “jury nullification.” They just state their decision is that the defendant is not guilty. They don’t state why, and we’d only know why they came to that conclusion if they tell us later in interviews or something.
SCOTUS cannot overturn a Nulification in the not guilty, according to anything about nulification I have read thus far, because the jury said that there is reasonable doubt, that he did not do it.
The plaintiff cannot appeal. There are super rare circumstances where I should say “usually can’t appeal”, but those are so rare I will just say only the defendant can appeal.

Jury nullification isn’t an enumerated power, it’s an emergent result of jury deliberations being secret and their verdict being legally binding.
