      Says the jury found them not guilty. Sounds like it comes down to them being instructed not to consider the bulk of the prosecution’s evidence.

        Not quite, it was the defence’s arguments that they were ordered to not consider

        During the trial, Judge Sellers ruled that none of the defence’s three arguments would be allowed for the jury to consider. Despite this, the 12 member jury made a factual determination and found all three defendants not guilty.

        So yea, nullification.
