Here’s a ~30 year old excellent law article on jury nullification by James Joseph Duane, who is also somewhat well known for his excellent “Don’t talk to police” lecture on YouTube. Click through the SSL warning in that first site to get the pdf - I think that’s better than the JSTOR library-login-wall link but you can see it there too.
It’s a pretty comprehensive positive treatment on jury nullification, with a bunch of history and context, well worth your time.
Thanks!
