Jury acquits L.A. man who towed immigration agent's car during TikTok influencer’s arrest

the jury found Nunez not guilty of one count of theft of government property

the defense attorneys argued that the law enforcement vehicle was blocking the driveway to the complex and their client had moved it around the corner — just one block away. They said that the car was returned within 13 minutes.

Given what he was charged with, the jury's conclusion is entirely reasonable. Towing illegally parked cars is standard practice in the industry. I don't think its reasonable to conclude the result was from nullification.

The thing about jury nullification is you don't just shout "jury nullification" to use it. It's a quirk of the system in that the jury gets to decide if someone is guilty, or not, of breaking a law, for any reason. The justification they give won't be "jury nullification." It'll be something that argues that it was justified.
