What is jury nullification and what does it mean for Luigi Mangione’s defense?

Reply in thread

A hung jury, where they cannot reach an agreement on guilt. Can be retried with a new jury, and probably would be in this case.

Jury nullification, would be all jurors agreeing on a not guilty verdict. The case is over and cannot be retried.

I suppose that one out of twelve could hang the jury over and over and the trials would just continue forever if the prosecution kept deciding to retry it.
