The ethics of this are completely at odds with our justice system but yet if in a jury I'd want to nullify it every time and I'm guessing many of you would, too.

I mean, isn't part of the purpose of a jury to allow for nullification in cases where circumstances absolve the defendant from moral guilt even if the letter of the law might have condemned them?

Whether that purpose is always dutifully carried out is a different question, of course.
