Question:

Amy Jones was physically and mentally abused by her husband, Mark, for the last 10 years of their marriage. Amy routinely ended up in the hospital as a result of Mark’s terrible beatings. One evening while Mark slept, Amy finally decided that she’d had enough. She shot Mark in the chest, killing him instantly. At her murder trial, Amy presented gruesome evidence regarding the abuse she suffered during her marriage. She failed, however, to prove that she was in any danger at the moment she killed Mark. You are on the jury and feel that Mark “got what he deserved” and would like to find Amy not guilty. If you find Amy not guilty, are you engaging in jury nullification? Why or why not?
