      Jury nullification is when the entire jury finds someone not guilty when they clearly are. A mistrial or a jury failing to render a verdict is not jury nullification.

        This. If it’s a hung jury they aren’t found “not guilty”. They can be retried. If the jury collectively renders a not guilty verdict, they can’t be tried again.
