Of course! The Tax code is written in such a clever manner, so that is can be understood to be Constitutional, by, amoung other things, saying it it "voluntary". Once you sign a 1040, under penalty of perjury, you surrender many of your constitutional rights away, and put yourself at grave legal risk.

Soooooo... jury nullification good, or bad?

One could argue this was not actual jury nullification, since the jury's reasoning was basically that the Code is so complex the case could not be proven in practice. But it is sure in a grey area.

It will be interesting to see if the civil case goes down in flames, too.
