This is an eternal debate in a jury system. And while I respect your position I think you are wrong here. Strict adherence to the law works when the law works. However we have police officers who are functionally immune from prosecution; judges using medieval church law to restrict our rights; and laws protecting the right of the wealthy to kill us for profit. (Healthcare is only one example)
The system is broken and jury nullification is a moral response to that.
