I answered that I would be willing to vote guilty if the law and the facts supported such a verdict.

This is absolutely true, and I am free to nullify (without having lied) if I find the law doesn't support such a verdict.

I'm wondering though what happened to the guy in NY (came to the comments here hoping someone had tracked that down). He was arraigned in Feb of this year.

Interesting. I'm not a lawyer, but doesn't the fact that the law doesn't support a certain verdict obviate the need for nullification?
