Thomas Knapp: Jury nullification is a practice firmly established in law since the late 17th century (and developing toward that establishment for centuries prior). Its basis is simple: Juries are empowered to try not only the facts of a case, but the justice of the law alleged to have been broken. This acts as a safeguard of rights against bad law.
