      Not everyone can afford to take so much time off work, it's nice to nullify if you can but it's not even guaranteed to work.

      That's days off work and depending on the judge you could end up facing criminal charges. That's if you're completely obstinate and refuse to convict. At most you'll cause a mistrial and they'll just repeat the process again with a new jury in a year. At worst you piss off the judge and get yourself charged with criminal contempt if they feel it can be argued, which I believe is the only crime you can be imprisoned for indefinitely without a trial. A judge can throw you in jail until you agree to comply.

        In North Korea if you refuse to convict someone the state wants convicted, you get thrown in prison indefinitely.

        But more seriously, it's not "I'm going to nullify" it's "I don't know, I just don't think there's enough evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they committed a crime".
