If you're thinking of one or more of the jurors saying "I don't know what to think, I decline to answer" then that would be a hung jury and I believe that juror may be found in contempt of court, and the trial would be redone with a new pool of jurors.

If you're saying "we're not really sure if he's guilty or not, we're just going to declare him not guilty to wash our hands of it", that's jury nullification. He would walk free and could not be retried unless the prosecution can prove the defense illegally influenced the jurors (I don't believe that would happen in this case). If you're saying "We don't know if he's guilty or not, we're going to find him guilty so we don't get attacked/our houses burned down" that is grounds for a mistrial and the defense could (in this case I believe could easily prove) "They were influenced by outside factors (Maxine Waters, the riots), we never should've used jurors from Minneapolis because they were too easily influenced by the social climate, we need to redo the trial with jurors from another jurisdiction".

My guess right now is we have an 80-15-4.9-.1 split. 80% chance the bulk of the charges are dismissed, 15% chance there is a mistrial, 4.9% chance he is found guilty and it gets successfully appealed, .1% chance there is a meaningful conviction from this TODAY. The jury was only deliberating for 10 hours. Jurors never find a verdict this quickly unless the decision is overwhelming and obvious. No matter what your opinion is, you can't deny that Chauvin levied a very effective defense. The fact that was done so quick, makes me think they either agreed unanimously he was innocent, or they were compelled to find him guilty by outside factors - at which point there will be a mistrial.

That is not jury nullification, that's acquittal

Jury nullification is "we don't give a fuck that it's undeniable a crime was committed because we think the law / the government is bullshit, INNOCENT."
