Many criminal justice professionals have argued time and time again
about jury nullification particularly when dealing with race. Some
well-known alleged jury nullification due to race was the case of OJ

jurors identify and share the same racial/ethnic characteristics as the
defendant, and deliver a not-guilty verdict even if the evidence shows
the guilt.
