As per .world worldnews mod, no discussing naughty stuff like jury nullification.

Oh found your case: https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/nv-supreme-court/2018306.html

You might want to check it out, but here is a fun snippet:

"OPINION

During voir dire in this criminal case, the trial judge threw a book against the wall, cursed, and berated, yelled at, and threatened a prospective juror for expressing her belief that she could not be impartial. We conclude that such behavior and statements constitute judicial misconduct and may have discouraged other prospective jurors from answering candidly about their own biases. Because we cannot be convinced that an impartial jury was selected under these circumstances where the judge did nothing to alleviate the intimidating atmosphere that he created, we reverse and remand for a new trial."
