Do you support jury nullification?

Why or why not?

Just curious to find what everyone thinks on the subject.
 
Yes.

If the law is unjust, it is also unjust to expect anyone with a conscience to vote to convict the defendent. And if the law is so unpopular that twelve random people unanimously agree that it is unjust (the odds of that happening with a law with even a 20% approval are very slim), then it's probably safe to say that the government is mistaken and the jury is correct.
