    I think its only a mistrial if only one person is trying to nullify. If the whole jury says someone is not guilty, then you’re done. Can’t be tried again for the same crime.

      Yeah that’s true. A single hold out would be a mistrial and a likely retrial. If you can get all the jurors to vote not guilty, then it’s just an acquittal and the trial is over without a possibility for a retrial.
