Honest question, having never been on a jury, do they really have to give an explanation at all? I thought the foreman just came out and gave the judge a note saying guilty or not guilty for each charge.

I haven't either, but my understanding is that no, they don't have to give a reason. They just give the verdict. They'll be asked a reason by the press though, which would be the actual argument for letting them off, not just that they nullified it.
