I support jury nullification, do you?

In this case, the guy killing those 2 men was a loony bin. He said he was going to kill and he did. Jury nullification can severely cripple any sense of value we have for due process because, in this case, the guy said, on tape, he was going to kill. Premeditated Murder. The jury was diluted with a sense of overzealous prosecution against illegal immigration and crime. These 2 factors were not factors within the mind of this lone individual. Even if they were, those 2 factors alone were not enough to justify homicide. In this case, consider the possibility that the 2 men were caught by police. Would their fate have been sealed as they were with this lone individual? So, in this case alone, I can see how wrong Jury Nullification is and that it is reserved for the intolerant, blood thirsty governments. And last I checked, such governments were undesirable and the reason we invade their countries.
